What was I thinking?! Me, come up with something profound? It's a beautiful rainy day - unless you are out in it. Now that I'm at work, the rain has stopped. It wasn't too bad driving in to work, but it was raining pretty good. Hubby has already text'd me that flood warnings have been issued around our home area. Huh.
I love the rain. As long as it is "gentle", I don't even mind the thunder and lightening. Right now I am sitting in a manager's office who is at a conference. I have so much work to get done that I need to spread papers out - and my boss suggested I take this office. Nice. I have a great window view of the lake, the grey clouds, some construction going on next door. The lake is still and serene. The rain has stopped.
Stillness, quietness. What does that remind you of? It always reminds me of Psalm 46:10 - 'Be still, and know that I am God'. Even with so much to get done today, I'm grateful I am in this office as it pulls me out of the busyness of those around me. The constant interruptions. And I'm captured by the quietness and stillness of the early morning before others arrive.
When was the last time you took some time to be 'still and quiet'? Without thinking of other things, but just being in the quietness and stillness of the moment? Not reading your Bible or a good book, not hiding from the children, but just being still.
Try this. Find a quiet location. Sit down, relax. Place your hands on your lap, unfolded. Do not cross your legs, nor your arms. Relax. Close your eyes. Let everything flow from you, and receive what God has for you. Love. Joy. Peace. Patience. Kindness, Goodness. Gentleness. Self-control.
Relish the moment. Take a deep breath. Face the day with renewed strength and energy. Make it a good one.
Blessings!
