Read Genesis 24:63
Isaac chose a beautiful way to end his day—by meditating in the quiet of the field. How much better our lives would be if, instead of filling our time with distractions, idle talk, or endless entertainment, we gave more space to quiet reflection with God. Through meditation, we take what we’ve learned, chew on it, and draw strength and nourishment for our souls. And when the focus of our meditation is Jesus, the sweetness is beyond compare.
Isaac chose a wonderful place too—the open field. Nature is a living classroom, filled with reminders of God’s greatness. From the tallest tree to the smallest flower, from the soaring birds to the buzzing insects, every detail of creation speaks of its Maker. The field, with its fresh air and beauty, can stir our hearts to worship in a way four walls cannot. But whether in a field, a room, or a busy street, the whole world can become holy ground if our eyes are set on God.
And Isaac chose the perfect time—the evening. As the sun sets and the day closes, our hearts naturally turn toward rest and reflection. The quiet of dusk invites us to leave behind the noise of the day and meet with God in peace. If possible, take a moment in the evening to be still with Him. But even if your day doesn’t allow for that, remember—God is just as present in the city, in your home, or wherever you are. What matters most is that your heart seeks Him.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for the gift of quiet moments with You. Teach me to pause in the busyness of life to meditate on Your goodness. Open my eyes to see Your hand in creation, and open my heart to hear Your voice in stillness. Whether in the field, at home, or in the middle of a crowded place, meet me there and draw me closer to You. May my soul find rest in Your presence each day.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Bp. Paul Solomon Maglaya
