Stillness

Scripture tells us to come before Him... to kneel before His throne and declare that He is God.

But I am wretched, a fractured human torn into a thousands pieces. And those pieces are distracting. I want to be put back together... but first I have to let go.

Which means I have to go back.... and think of those regrets, of those unwise choices.

Scripture says....

As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Psalm 103:12

We must let it be true in us.... for us.

Scripture also tells us that we can never flee from His presence.

A comforting... yet daunting truth.

It means that He is there in those hiding places. The dark ones we sneak off to when we think no one is watching. Those places we go to feed..... pacify our addictions and pains.

He is there... always there.... always watching.

He says to us...

“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30

When we take on His yoke, we leave behind 

our worries

all our doubts

concerns about the future

the distress we carry within

the things that cause us pain

and everything that keeps us up at night

Then we find that His yoke is

light

gentle

comforting

effortless

undemanding

abundant

 Then I can be still.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God."

Psalm 46:10
