The last several days we have been experiencing March winds. Our days have been very windy! But today there is an erie stillness in the air. A stillness that grabs your attention. As I sit on our back porch, you can see as the branches of the trees stand still. There is a quietness about the neighborhood.
This reminds me of the importance of remaining still in the presence of God. A matter of fact, the Psalmist states the words of our Heavenly Father, "Be still and know that I am God." Today, it seems as if the trees are being still before God. My thought is, Lord, help me to learn to be still in your presence. Help me to know how to be still and to know you are God!
Life is so hurried. We are so busy with doing things. We are so caught up in our agendas, calenders, and plans that we often fail to simply be still. May we practice the discipline of being still before God. Yes, this is a discipline! The discipline of being still, not only physically, but mentally and emotionally. May we empty ourselves of all the distractions so that we can be filled with all of God. Father, fill us this day with yourself.
This is today,
Pastor Gary
