A stillness before God.....................waking in the wee hours of the morning tired and worn out to the work that is never done. Is it just me who sometimes resents............resents my very own fleshing blood? Grace I whisper............more please.............more of your grace............just to endure another day in this cycle of life that can seem so repetitive............ like "ground-hog," day.
Where is it? I ask myself............the gratitude that I am supposed to feel in the mundane of the everyday life?
Me with my outstretched hand only for the taking... from the one who lived only for the dying for me.
What does it feel like? Simplicity? As the earth keeps spinning.....and the people keep aching..........looking for the one true thing that could bring happiness. Am I simply missing it? Missing the one true way to happiness- which is simple- the old rugged cross.
Who am I ? The woman with unclean lips..........praising the King with one lip and screaming at the kids with the other. What must I do to please the Lord?
And in His word He so gently takes my hand and whispers............"follow me,"..............."abide in me." Do I really want to be a disciple? To have to deny self daily?
My heart is pumping...........palms sweating............I am a little girl again playing in the water hose at my grandmother's house..............under a tiny car-port that looked so big at the time.
Where did the time go? Just as our days are the numbered...............so are the hairs on our head.
Time is ticking...........and we are the waiting.........waiting to see the king.
No-one knows the hour nor the day but the seasons are upon us..............and what must we do? But SEEK............SEEK.......................SEEK with all of our hearts...........and God himself will show us!
He will show us what time it truly is!
Is is 5 minutes to midnight? And am I just sleepwalking?
As fall is in the air have I lost it?........lost all sense of the seasons to come........life is bearing down on us now.........not letting up..........the aching is more and more with the changing of the seasons........I have lost the stillness in him. Time is marching on........and I am no better than a nicely wound watch. I just keep winding and moving forward in a time that the king of the universe is screaming.........stop, look and listen to me.
Is the everything all around me just more important than him? It is time for stillness. Resting in him is the way. All else is futile. The one who rests in him is the one who will find their way........in a broken world.......simply by........slowing down........spending time with the "Great I AM."
Sometimes stillness is when you will see His grace fall like the leaves on a fall day. The seasons are changing...........There is beauty from ashes........the vinedresser is pruning................. the branches need to bear much fruit.
And he shall be a sanctuary.
Isaiah 8:14
Where is your place of stillness?............Your sanctuary?
Where in the turmoil of this life? In the busy cares of our homes? In the hurry and the confusion of our fast paced lives.......where shall our souls find the stillness........to simply pray?
"He shall be a sanctuary, closer to thee than breathing, nearer than hands or feet." At any moment during all the hurried day we can be hidden from all earth's eyes, and STILL from all the earth's craziness we call life! We only have to abide in him!
all is well,
Robbie
Slowing down a bit this season........less time in the era of technology. Need your prayers and grace please. thank you
