Five Minute Friday: Be Still

Yay its Friday (jump and down with happiness)---end of the work week for me and time to link up with Lisa-Jo in Five-Minute Fridays. I love this time of the week because I can stop, breathe, and write---during my student's nap time, while dinner is cooking, or when I am just taking a "breather."
This weeks topic is Still....
The first thing that came to  my mind was the passage “Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10) and the song that goes along with it (which I will post when I get home from work tonight). It is hard at times to "be still." Something in my life happens and I get bent out of shape--sometimes spazzing out about a situation. Thankfully, in the midst of the confusion...sometimes a few days later I calm down and think through what just happened---I wasn't "still" in my heart and soul--I was wrestling with what was going on in my life. I realize every day that I need to stop (be still) and see that what is going on is God's doing---God is in control so why wrestle?

I think it our human nature to wrestle and to get bent out of shape--I imagine at times even the greatest preachers in the world struggled. So friends, and (I am even talking to myself) BE STILL....Gos is there and He will help you {and I} through what we are going through.

  1. Some solid advice accompanied by one of the most challenging and peaceful verses in Scripture. I get all bent out of shape, too, often, and being still would really calm the inner storms. It's a retraining event, really. :)
