It's early. Almost before the sun comes up. The house is quiet, dim and all are sleeping. I tiptoe to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee and then I sit in my little room at the back of the house. This morning, I just sat there in prayer...listening. I could hear the birds begin to sing a familiar tune, but then, increasingly the sound of cars racing began to overtake my attention. As I sat in stillness, the highway immediately behind us stirred with such a ferocious hustle. Cars racing past, trucks honking, motorbikes sizzling down the highway. I pushed the sounds away and brought my attention back to the tranquility of stillness. Birds chirping, my LORD speaking..."Be still and KNOW that I am GOD."
I love when the Lord calls me to be with Him and quiets my soul when life gets hectic. I hope you are able to experience Him in that way as well. If not, I challenge you to find a quiet place daily to seek His face!
