Be Still For A Bit

As I sit looking out my window, it is not yet light. The street lamp casts a warm glow on the yard and tree outside the window. It is so still that not even a pine branch or the flag across the street are moving. In that stillness, God is sitting beside me, letting me bask in His presence.

These times of stillness are necessary. God tells us to be still and know that He is God. He isn't saying let someone else tell you who I am. He isn't saying let your Bible tell you who I am. He is saying be still and experience for yourself who I am.

Listening to others speak of Jesus and reading your Bible are important. But God says to 'be still long enough to find out who I am for yourself.'

I think I'll be still now.
