I am talking about sitting in the back porch and listen to the bird chirp... Dogs barking.. The sound of a lawn mower running somewhere in the background.. Feeling the sun on your skin or feeling the wind blowing on your face?
Or maybe you are at the beach and you hear the waves breaking all around you and the smell of the salty air is touching your skin? And the sound of birds flying above you.
Or maybe you are on top of a mountain and the fresh air of pines hit your sense. And the feeling of being free and being able to hear every animal that God created is singing their songs.
That is what I am talking when it comes to being quiet! The verse that keeps popping up in my devotions the last months has been..... Be still and know I am God.
Most of us have no problem with knowing He is God. It is everywhere that we look! It is in the smile of a child... The rainbow after the rain... The hug from a love one...or maybe He has shown you through a difficult time... Or it is simply the cross where His Son hung for three days...
But a lot of us have a problem with being still. Yes being still!! That means sitting somewhere with nothing on and just letting your mind become blank (that is not hard for men.. This is not a slam against men... But it is proven fact that they can become blank) and let God be God. That means not thinking of anything and sit still. To us women this is hard to shut off our brains and just listen.
For me it was extremely hard for me... When I was on the field, I could feel Him everywhere and was able to hear Him clearly! But now that I am in the states it is harder
to hear Him. Day after day it became harder and harder to hear that small voice... But I had to slowly train myself to hear Him while in the states...
So when I started to become still His voice became louder and easier to hear.. Things became easier to follow His path!
So I challenge you to be still and know that He is God!!!
Beautiful
