Be Still Part One

Be Still

Part One

Word of God speak

Would you pour down like rain

Washing my eyes to see

Your majesty

To be still and know

That you’re in this place

Please let me stay and rest

In your holiness

Word of God speak

Mercy Me: Word of God Speak

It’s been a crazy week in Texas to say the least. While there was a lot of wind and rain where I live, we were not hurt by Hurricane Harvey. I have family members that did have to evacuate their homes for a while. Some have to replace their floors and a few things, but thankfully everyone is okay.

Hurricane Harvey represents the craziness of life I feel I currently live in. My mind and body are constantly going with a million different thoughts and things to do. It’s hard to remember to be still, just for a moment.

Several times this week, “Word of God Speak” by Mercy Me has come to my mind. In the aftermath of the terrible storm and within the midst of my life, I have found myself wondering when was the last time I was still enough to listen to my Creator. When was the last time I truly sought Him and waited for him to answer?

The answer to that question is embarrassing, but also eye opening. So often, I forget that He is there and He really does want me to seek Him. I forget that He is always with me, waiting for me to call.

And then the moment comes, be it during the storm of a raging hurricane or in the simple words of a friend. In this moment, I remember that my Creator is waiting. I just need to remember to be still and know that He’s here with me waiting and wanting to lead me.
