BE STILL

Be still ?
Now that is un-American nowadays.

Everything in us and around us tells us, compels us to keep moving (faster and faster), keep getting more information (faster and faster), keep getting more done (faster anf faster), keep getting more efficient (faster and faster), keep expecting more (faster and faster).

Did I say “faster” ?

Just observe what is on your screens, and everywhere you turn.
If you’re over 60 (maybe 50), and if you are not totally swamped by “faster, faster, faster”, and if you can remember when most everything was slower (much slower), then you can read the rest of this article.

Did you notice that unannounced visits are no longer appreciated, even no longer welcome ?

Did you ever experience that, with your children ?

Did you notice that visits have to be ‘scheduled’ ?

Did you ever have a need, someone to share it with, and there was no one (or shall I say there was no one available) ?

Did you ever give up on seeing someone you need to see because of the above, because you know they are too busy ?

Do not bother others, because you might be a bother ?

Do you think back on times when everything was slower, people were slower and had more time for each other ?

Don’t be left behind !

Be still.
Better put that in my schedule.
Rest.
Better put that in my schedule.

“Sleep happens automatically; Rest must be intentional.”

“Be still, and know that I Am God.”

“Come to Me, everyone who is weary and overloaded, and I will give you REST.”
