SLOW DOWN
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”- Ps. 46:10 NIV
Can you just sit still and do nothing? I have a hard time. It’s not because I so much energy but I have a hard time keeping my mind still. I have to be doing something with my hands, reading, doing crafts or playing a game on my phone, or I watch TV. But just sitting still and doing nothing, not easy. So why does God want us to be still? Because in those still, quiet times when our focus and attention is completely on Him, then we’ll be able to see who He really is, see how big He is and see how much He’s done for us. That’s when He will speak to us.
We’re usually so busy telling God about what we want or need but seldom sit and just listen to see what He wants to say. Some times we have to be still and wait. That’s even harder. Yet, when we do wait on God, He will reveal Himself in ways that take us beyond what we could imagine. That’s when we will really see who He is.
MAKE IT REAL – Slow down and spend some quality time just listening to God. See what He wants to show and tell you. You’ll be glad you did.
