Pre-LENT Day 1 - Make Space
COMMENT BELOW ... WHAT DOES MAKING SPACE FOR GOD MEAN TO YOU?
Making Space
Scripture – Psalm 46:10 (ESV)
“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
Word for the Day: Stillness
Practical Teaching
Before Lent begins, we must slow down. Lent is not something we rush into — it is something we enter. Stillness is the doorway to depth. If we never pause, we cannot hear.
Jeremiah 33:3 Connection
God promises to reveal “great and hidden things.” Hidden things require quiet spaces. Stillness prepares the ear for revelation.
Going Beyond Tip
Schedule 10 uninterrupted minutes today with no phone, no music — just silence before God.
Black History Spotlight – Dr. Benjamin Elijah Mays
Who He Was:Dr. Benjamin E. Mays was a theologian, educator, and longtime president of Morehouse College. He mentored generations of leaders — including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Lesser-Known Fact:Before becoming a prominent educator, Mays spent years in disciplined theological study and spiritual formation. He was known for beginning each school year with deep spiritual reflection and moral vision-setting, not hype. His leadership was rooted in contemplation before action.
He once said:
“Not failure, but low aim is sin.”
Why He Fits Day 1 (Stillness):Mays believed clarity comes from reflection. He understood that leaders must think deeply before moving publicly. Stillness shaped his vision.
Prayer
Lord, quiet my heart. Teach me to be still before You. Prepare me for deeper places as Lent approaches. Amen.
