Where have you come from?

Before you started reading this - what were you doing? Did you make an effort to read? Or did you grab it on the run? Sometimes in our search for what we are looking for- we realize that we don't know what that is. And so we flit from one flower to another examining the sweetness. There are some places that you prepare to enter by being quiet, turning off cell phones, you know what I mean? There are some that you get ready for, you clean up to enter, you dress a certain way. And there are some places that you must prepare mentally for - you remember your lines, your hours of study.

Ahhh! And there is a place where preparation is only to "be still, and know." In our hectic lives filled with so many stressors we are pulled almost apart. But- when we get still, and know. . . You see, getting still is not enough, the power is in knowing that God is God. Too often, we are physically still and mentally running. Don't believe me? Hmmmm. What happens when you are in corporate prayer? What happens when you are in a lecture? Your body is there but your mind is usually racing about many other things. You can't let go of where you came from in order to move into that particular moment.

When you let go of where you were in order to enter that place. When you get still, and focus on hearing, feeling, knowing, celebrating God you enter a different place. And in that place you can indeed be all that God has designed because you have left your corrupt image of self behind. That's the place to be. . . no matter what anyone thinks. . . not even you.

You can't stay there always. It's too great, so you have snippets. But that will sustain you. When you move from that place, move with that knowledge of who you are because of whose you are. And in that moving you help change the atmosphere because of where you have come from. Make great effort to get still. Go ahead try it now. I bless you with excitement in getting still and knowing that God is indeed God. type to you later!
