Be Still

I was at bible study last night and we talked about being too busy for God. Something was said that really made me think.

How many of you read your bible EVERYDAY?? How many of you pray EVERYDAY?? I admit I strive to read my bible and pray everyday, but sometimes I do get too busy for God.

Our pastor asked the question "How many of you sit still and listed to God for at least one hour a day." I don't think more than two people raised their hands.

We pray and we read our bible, but we don't take the time to listen to what God has to say.

"Be still and know that I am God." We are so busy and active these days with sports, school, friends, significant others, spouses, work that we don't take the time we should to just be still. We can not hear what God is saying to us because we won't sit still.

I try and sit still, but those of you who know me, know that I probably have some kind of ADHD and can't sit still for long. My mind is always racing when I try to be quiet and listen to God. I do not have the patience to discipline my mind so that I can hear from God.

What's keeping you from hearing from God? I am going to accept my pastor's challenge and work on being still so I can hear what God is saying to me. I challenge to do the same.

I used to always say "Be Easy", so lets be easy and settle down in our busy lives and see what God is trying to say to us. Let's start with 5 minutes, then move to 10, then 15 and so on. Lets be still so we can move to another level in him together!!
