Just Be Still
The
Lord has placed different “Just be” statements on my heart.
I’m
excited to start sharing what God has been teaching me. I’ve fought posting
these because of what people might think of me, etc. Most importantly, my hope is that these will
encourage you to keep seeking the Lord.
On my heart this week I want to encourage to you to:
Just
be Still
From
a little girl until now, I’ve always gone ninety to nothing without
stopping. I remember when I was younger,
family members would constantly say “You need to be still”.
In
my twenties, I would pack my calendar with activity after activity, going to
work and then, after a full afternoon of things, getting home late to start my routine
over the next day. One day, as I was
meeting with my mentor, she handed me a blank calendar. I had to fill it out for the entire next week. My life was too packed and I was not giving
myself time to “Just Be Still”.
I
learned I had to take some things off my plate and realize that I did not have
to do everything. It was okay to say “no”.
Psalms
46:10 tells us “Be still and know that I am God.”
Here
are different ways to be still..
· When I’m still, I place my
phone in the other room so I can hear more clearly from the Lord.
· When I’m still, I limit
distractions that keep me from hearing the Lord.
· When I’m still, I’m
listening to the Lord. Not talking. Listening.
· When I’m still, the Lord
reminds me of His Word so I may apply it to my life.
“Be Still before the Lord and Wait Patiently for Him. “ Psalms
37:7 a
As we start a new week, how can you “Just Be Still”?
