Being Present in the Process [Residential Broker #26]

Scripture: “Teach us to number our days, that we may get a heart of wisdom.” — Psalm 90:12 (ESV)

Devotional

Real estate often pulls your mind in multiple directions—future closings, upcoming listings, paperwork waiting to be done, calls you still need to return. If you’re not careful, you can live mentally in the next task rather than being present in the one God has put in front of you.

God calls you to wisdom, and wisdom begins with presence. Being present allows you to connect deeply with clients, see opportunities others overlook, and experience God’s peace in the moment. When you rush through your day, you miss divine appointments—small moments where God wants to work through you.

Being present doesn’t mean slowing your pace; it means focusing your attention. It means seeing the person in front of you, not the pressure behind you. It means pausing long enough to pray before responding. It means giving clients your full presence, not a distracted version of yourself.

Today, choose presence over hurry. It will strengthen your business, deepen your relationships, and draw you closer to God.

Reflection Questions:

·       Where am I most distracted or unfocused in my work?

·       How can I be more present with clients today?

·       What helps me slow down mentally even when my day is busy?

Prayer

Lord, teach me to number my days and use my time wisely. Help me be fully present in each moment and each conversation. Give me clarity, focus, and peace. Amen.
