Be Still
Psalm 46:10
Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the Earth!
Each day I try and pray on my way to work and from work -some days are easier then others- the days I am distracted are the hardest - There is always so much to do - always rushing around -it seems like we never have enough time - many forgo prayer because of lack of time - God's Word says for us to redeem the time - to use what we have - I make it a habit to pray during my commute - I also play music - this helps me get ready for the day - during this prayer time I can hear God speak - its amazing - its not audible - but sometimes when I get still enough I can hear Him - many times its not what I expected - on the way home yesterday evening - I struggled to enter into my prayer time - it was hard - I had a long day at work and had been out shopping - it seems I cannot ever stay caught up - and I know I am not alone in this feeling - I just felt God saying that we have far too many distractions in our lives- not that they are bad in themselves -we must care for our family and we must pay our bills - we must do our civic duty (i.e. mow the yard!) sometimes we go and go never slowing down enough to hear from God - Jesus is our example - He got away from it all and prayed - He never allowed distractions to mess up His time with the Father - all the loudness of our business must stop at times so we can focus or in many cases refocus our attention on our Father God.
Lets make it a habit to be still - no matter how much the world around us wants us to move -its time to be still and know the HE is GOD!
footnote: sometimes the best thing is to do is nothing....be still...and know...that's all.....
CHRIST moves in our lives to in order to cause us to be still.
