Be still even if the storm is raging.

Often I quote the verse "Be Still and Know I am God."  Psalms 46:10.  We say and we think we mean it but I ask you just one question, in this day and time with the two income families and the schedules of rustle and bustle when are we ever still?

We collapse into bed we mumble our bed time prayers and we fall asleep in the middle of bless the Pastor, bless Aunt Betty, and Uncle Bill and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I was singing a song to Jesus one day ... It goes something like this Hold me Jesus I am shaking like a leaf You are my King of Glory won't You be my Prince of Peace.... I hear Abba say Hold You?  You can't even sit down and rest with out doing something.  When are you still enough to be Held???

In Psalms 23 did you ever notice David didn't say I joyfully lie down in the green pasture....I gladly rest beside the still water while my Savior refreshes my soul???    It says ² He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

I think David was a lot like us... He went around be bopping along about HIS business until God said David have a rest let's chat for a while... What if we touch God with our praise each morning instead of begging God to touch us when we need it after we have put Him on the back burner for so long.  

What if we put on our calendar one  hour a day be still and talk to Abba... We could space it out in 15 minute blocks so we can make sure we fellowship all day with the Father.  I am going to try it as my challenge to myself for the coming year.  You may say You don't have a job your son is grown it is easy for you to do...  Well you will be surprised what I can find to do other then just to sit...to rest.. to listen.. to fellowship....If I talked to my provider, my healer, my Savior as much as I spent playing face book games, I probably would be healed and out of debt by now.  He put us first... shouldn't we at least give Him some time with out needing anything but to touch His heart...
