Yesterday in church Pastor Jack had us starting out singing an old favorite...
How Great Thou Art. "O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder, Consider all the World thy hand hath made."
Be still where ever you are as you read this and know His hand made and provided all around you.
Jack spoke about God calling to us and all the many excuses we come up with not to listen or follow His direction.
If we are burdened by life and it's circumstances, it is hard to be still and listen to Him. We are busy trying to repair things and get back our balance. That is really the time to be still. It is time to affirm His presence in us and in our world.
Be Still.
He is here as well.
When the mind and heart are still you become an open conduit for God to speak to you. Your thoughts no longer are centered on what is about you in the external concerns, but you are comforted by the pure presence of God. He will lead you out of the turmoil. He has something more for you to do this day... can you hear His message? Can you be a sanctuary for others bringing a calm to their day and the light to their darkness?
Words of my heart, Laurie

Yes, "Be still and know that I am God." Thanks Laurie for your wonderful reflection on God's calling. By the way you signed your work again with "How great Thou art."
