Be still
Lord, how can I be still while life rushes by? Surely, “be still” was for a different time
When men and women heard Your voice
And a donkey talked for it had no choice
When a river’s direction turned about
And a wall came down at the sound of a shout
When a sea parted for a mighty exodus
And healing took place from a faithful touch
When some who died were given life anew
And a man walked with You way beyond the blue
Certainly then Lord, but not now
Be still? Okay, but Lord, how?
Be still—take time out, pause, be at rest in Me
And when doubt and fear consume me?
Be still—don’t speak, be quiet, just listen for Me
But Lord, I’ve tried yet I don’t hear Thee
Be still—do nothing, wait . . . wait for Me
But Lord I only have time, You have all eternity
Be still—trust Me
When you say I am your Healer
Aren’t you saying you are healed?
Be still then, sit at my feet, be renewed
When you say I am your Shepherd
Aren’t you saying you’ll never be lost?
Be still then, wait awhile, know that I am God
When you say, I am your Provider
Aren’t you saying you shall not want
Be still then, abide in Me, be fulfilled
Be still—trust Me
Shabbat Shalom. I pray you find an inner place of quietude to be still.

There is so.much “noise” in this world, that we do need some quiet time each day ,where we listen for the quiet voice. Thanks for the reminder Dee.

Absolutely Harri. Life can really keep us in the rat race that we forget where our real strength comes from—in the quiet time with God.

This is so beautiful. In the busyness of life being still can be such a challenge. Each day I challenge myself to sit quietly and meditate on the goodness of my Creator, the blessings that he has and continues to shower on me. Regardless of the challenges of this season, I am thankful for the blessing of stillness and joy that it brings me.
