    In Isaiah 1:3 God compared the thankfulness of His people to that of the ox and donkey, and said the animals won the prize hands down. How can brute beasts, who have so little intelligence, be much more aware of their Creator?

    There are times when our lives move so fast, that we need to slow down and let our souls catch up with our bodies. In the midst of our busyness we need to slow down and go to that solitary place for prayer. And then let your Amen prepare you for Action.
