The True God who inhabits sacred space is a father to the fatherless, a defender of widows.
 Psalm 68:5 Voice 

Our “quiet time” shouldn’t just stop at our morning quiet time we spend with God. If we truly find peace with God in the morning, we can go through the chaos of the day and still be at peace. This is what it means to find a sacred space. The time we spend in the morning should set up the day to be at peace no matter what happens, but we can only accomplish this when we find or create a sacred space in the morning.

Finding the "Quiet" in Quiet Time | Deep Spirituality 055

Sports and physical activity are extremely beneficial to children's development, not only developing their physical health but also their social skills, problem-solving abilities, and conflict-resolution skills. These activities should be accessible to all, not just those who are "able-bodied." Children and adults with special needs, whether it be physical, developmental, or social disabilities, deserve to have access to the same resources and activities that those who are "able-bodied" or "neurotypical" have access to. Join Russ Ewell and friends as they discuss why inclusion matters in the world of sports and physical activity.

Why Inclusion Matters To The Development Of Children | Digital Scribbler 012

Let me, your servant, walk in abundance of life that I may always live to obey your truth. [18] Open my eyes to see the miracle-wonders hidden in your word. [19] My life on earth is so brief, so tutor me in the ways of your wisdom.
Psalm 119:17-19 TPT

The Bible is a book about God. Reading it spiritually is not about being able to quote better, know more, be smarter, argue effectively, memorize more, or even gain comfort. The focus of Scripture is to know God. Reading the Bible is a multilayered endeavor involving four levels of experience, through spiritual, literary, intellectual, and theological reading. The foundation of building a great relationship with God is through spiritual and literary reading.

Join Russ and friends as they discuss the section of the “How to Have a Quiet Time: A Comprehensive Guide” about it really means to read the Bible spiritually.
