The Quiet Pursuit – Week 3 Devotional: Abiding in God’s Timing

June Devotional Series | Summit Christian Church Women’s Ministry

We’re halfway through The Quiet Pursuit, and this week invites us to embrace something often uncomfortable: waiting. In a world that glorifies hustle, this week’s Scripture reminds us that abiding, trusting, and slowing down are holy practices. There is peace in God’s pace, even when it’s not ours. Check out last weeks devotions if you missed them!

☀️ Sunday, June 15 – The Pace of God

Scripture: “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him.” – Psalm 37:7

Devotion: Easier said than done, right? But God doesn’t rush. His pace is intentional. Stillness is not wasting time, it’s aligning with His. Let go of the pressure to hurry. He is never late.

Quiet Prompt: Take 3 deep breaths. Say aloud: “God’s timing is enough for me.”

🍞 Monday, June 16 – What Truly Satisfies

Scripture: “Why spend money on what is not bread… and your labor on what does not satisfy?” – Isaiah 55:2

Devotion: We spend so much energy chasing what doesn’t satisfy. This week, ask yourself: what is feeding my soul? Only God gives lasting fullness.

Quiet Prompt: What are you chasing that leaves you empty? Name it and release it.

🌿 Tuesday, June 17 – Abide, Don’t Strive

Scripture: “Abide in me, and I in you.” – John 15:4

Devotion: Jesus says, “Abide.” Not perform. Not strive. To abide is to remain, to stay connected. It’s the opposite of hustle. Simply be with Him. Not to get something, but because He is everything.

Quiet Prompt: Spend 5 minutes abiding. No reading, no music, just being with God.

🕰 Wednesday, June 18 – Embracing Your Season

Scripture: “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1

Devotion: If you're in a slower season, embrace it without guilt. God does some of His best work in hidden places. Let this time shape you, not shame you.

Quiet Prompt: Reflect: What season are you in? How might God be using it to shape you?

🔄 Thursday, June 19 – Renewing Your Mind

Scripture: “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” – Romans 12:2

Devotion: The world wants your attention, your energy, your identity. But God calls you to renewal. That begins with quiet, not noise. Let your mind reset in His truth.

Quiet Prompt: Do a 24-hour media pause. What do you notice without the noise?

🌅 Friday, June 20 – Mercy for Today

Scripture: “His mercies… are new every morning.” – Lamentations 3:22–23

Devotion: Today is fresh. You don’t have to carry yesterday’s weight. God’s faithfulness is already here, waiting to meet you again.

Quiet Prompt: Write: What mercy are you most thankful for today?

👑 Saturday, June 21 – First Things First

Scripture: “Seek first the kingdom of God…” – Matthew 6:33

Devotion: Not success. Not comfort. Not even peace. Seek Him. Everything else flows from that. Start today with the pursuit that matters most.

Quiet Prompt: What does it look like for you to seek first the Kingdom this week?
