Be still and know that I am God Ps46:10

In the stillness of your Grace

In the echo of your Word

Throbbing through the ancient heart

Falling through your endless stars

Landing here inside your love

Prostrate myself before your Will

My all, my God, my all

In the glory of your love

Father here upon my knees

Trembling as I cry, “Come in.”

Your answer, “Here am I.”

Light within my darkened place

I came to you, seeking me

Offering my soul unreigned

In surrender of my will

Landing here inside your love

Prostrate myself before your Will

My all, My God, my all

"Still"-- Hebrew: raphah. idle, let drop, abandon, relax, refrain, forsake, let go, be quiet

Be idle before Me; let drop your defenses; abandon your arguments; relax against My chest; refrain from talking or questioning; forsake your desires and dreams; let go your fears; and be quiet before Me.

As I ran the other morning I imagined God saying this to me as I was spending the whole time talking to Him. I told Him what I was feeling and released it to Him. I prayed for all the things/family/friends/students/ministries/cities/nations... on My heart. I thanked Him and praised Him. I worshipped Him in every way -- except the one way where He could reveal Himself to me... I forgot to just be still.

Isn't it amazing how much of our day we devote to Not being still? Try it. It's hard, but the rewards are amazing and very deep.
