Word prompt: Still
GO…
I’ve been anything BUT still lately. My husband tells me I need to pace myself… to know my own limitations and take a step back when it gets “too much”. I know he is right, and yet, I make my own excuses. It’s nesting. I’m a woman. I need to finish what I start. Why do we {I} place the highest expectations on ourselves? I go go go… and never stop until I’m done.
I exhaust myself.
I get angry.
I ooze frustration and it poisons those around me.
I’m reminded to be still.
To stop.
Why is that so hard?
I have a wooden frame in my dining room that says,
“Let us be silent that we may hear the whisper of God.”
I haven’t been silent long enough to hear His sweet whispers.
I haven’t been silent long enough to hear anything above my own madness.
I haven’t been still…
Have you been like me? Are you rolling down a hill in one of those hamster wheels, the inertia whirring, ready to knock down anyone in your path?
This is not God’s will for our life… let HIM put on the brakes by stopping and sipping from the LIVING WORD!
Psalm 46:10
“Be still and know that I am God.”
“Be still and know that I am God.”
“Be still and know that I am God.”
Sometimes I have to repeat things 3 times in order to “get it”. Have you “got it”?
STOP….
