"Just as dew never falls on a stormy night, so His grace never covers a restless soul."
L.B. Cowman's Streams in the Desert
Being still is one of the hardest things for me. I'm used to running around like a chicken with its head cut off. I am a major multi-tasker and my brain usually has about 35 tabs open at once. I'm pretty adamant about having daily quiet time, but that doesn't mean I'm being still. I normally read, pray (me talking to God; not so much listening for Him), write, or clean the house. To actually sit down and be still... that's not gonna work out for me. The thing is, it has to happen if I'm going to receive God's gifts for me. I cannot receive grace if I'm constantly moving and my mind is focused on everything but the Lord.
Psalm 46:10
"Be still and know that I am God..."
In the midst of crying babies, potty training, housekeeping, cooking, folding laundry, homeschooling, doing my part in my marriage, and everything else that comes with being me, to just stop and think about that is incredibly difficult, but also incredibly freeing...
He is God.
You are God.
Saying that out loud puts everything else into perspective. I am not God, and I don't have to be, because He is. Amen to that, am I right?! :)
