Be still, and
know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10
Have you ever turned on your television or radio, not really to listen
to it, but just so that it will block out the silence. There are so many
opportunities throughout our day, for us to avoid being quiet and alone,
with our thoughts and our God. How many times do we watch with awe, as
the sun sets at the end of the day, or notice that the leaves are
beginning to change color in the fall, or even take the time to enjoy
the food that we eat? Most of these precious events pass us by, for the
most part un-noticed, as we scurry off to the next event of the day.
Each and every moment of our lives does not need to be engulfed with
activity. We can slow down, stop for more than a minute and enjoy all
that surrounds us. God has created beautiful things in our lives that we
fail to see, when we refuse to slow down. God is not in a hurry and He
certainly is not bound by our schedules or impatience. God’s timing is
perfect for everything. We are the one’s that need to slow down, sit
back and soak in all that God is and has surrounded us with daily. By
always seeking the grand events, we often miss the day to day events
right in our midst that are truly awesome.
Prayer
Help us to turn off the noise in our lives so that we can hear Your
voice when You speak, and see You in every part of our day. Every where
we go, Your beauty surrounds us. You are there in everything. Help us to
break away from our routines and realize Your glory in our midst today.
Amen.
