Can you.....be still?

Be still and know


In deepest silence


A red wing-tip


The whiff of grass


The brush of wind


The breath of warming sun


Cold hardness of rock


The beating of my heart


Drop of honeysuckle sweetness


He reads my thoughts


And He- is God

Can you.....be still?
Too often, we try to "FIX THINGS", and the more we work


at it, the bigger the mess it becomes. Isa 30:7, I really do


believe is speaking to us today; "For the Egyptians shall


help in vain, and to no purpose: THEREFORE have I cried


concerning this, THEIR STRENGTH IS TO SIT STILL".


In another place, we are told to be still %26amp; know that I AM


GOD. It is the nature of our flesh man to try to fix it, but


God is the FIXER.





Thanks for the uplifting thoughts for this day "The Lord has


made".

Silence before the Lord lets in all sorts of beauty. All He has made is enhanced in our senses, His Words are as honey to our lips. His Presence is precious. All praise to our wonderful Creator.

I remember when I first learned how to be still. As a mother with three young girls, a hectic career, a traveling husband who was often hundreds of miles away. There was always something on my "to do" list......most of it important. In those days, it seemed like daily Bible reading was often just something else I had to do. Then I saw it late in the night, after the kids were in bed........"Be still and know that I am Lord", what a relief it was! It has served me well to "be still" and reflect on His promises and comforts.
Reply:Very nice! Yes, I can be still.
Reply:Thank you for sharing, that was beautiful. It helps to be still sometimes and just listen for His presence.
Reply:The way in which I "be still," is to look into a night time sky filled with God's glorious creation. While doing that, it is not possible for me to think of anything else.
Reply:Be still, and know that He Is God! Amen! Beautiful piece about Beautiful Peace!
Reply:It is Good to be still -get the mind off of the things going on in the world and focus on His peace and gain more strength in His Joy and presence.

Reply:Picking up your cross daily and following


after Jesus is a test of your faith.


for the scripture say we walk by faith not by sight.


when trials come upon you to make you weak, really


that's when you are made strong in Christ.


and no wiggling on the cross.


Overcomer can be still in Christ Jesus.

Reply:Oh yes.. one of the things God tells us is to remember to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD%26gt; Even God rested, remember? To be out amongst the beauty of the things God created, to breathe in that fresh air and take in the aromas of all that beauty, to see all of the beauty in its spelndor, to know it, feel it, touch it, breathe it all in, and just KNOW God is there in the midst of it all with us, that is just a small slice of Heaven before we even get to Heaven. The next leaf that blows, watch it, study it, and see the beauty thats there in each little movement. Dont be so busy in life that you truly cant take the time to smell the roses and remember that God made them all.


Each sunset is like a handwritten signature from God, just saying I told you I love you. I will be back.


Each rainbow says I willl never leave you .


Its all jsut there, if we would just look up and see.


As the wind blows upon your face, feel Gods han there, touching you and calling to you, BE my Child.


As we see the beautiful flowers He created and smell the richness of aroma from each one, know only He made these for us all. Stand up, raise your hands to the heavenlies and say Thank you GOD, Now what can I do for you this morning??????


I raise plants and flowers and its a real love for me. I can tell you I have never seen two exactly alike.


God loves us all, LEts all love HIm back, enough to do as He says. HE commands us to love and obey Him. are we doing that? Answer the full call of God. And in moments of incredible silence, this is when we will often hear the most from Him. Hear His voice and KNOW. God bless you.

2And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.





3And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?





4And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.
