Be Still
"Be still and know that I am God..."
Psalm 46:10
I invite you to put down your phone. Turn off any distracting noises. Sit in a comfortable chair. Close your eyes... and be still. Be still for, let's say, 10 minutes.
Now, read these words:
"Nothing in all creation is so like God as stillness."
Meister Eckhart
"All the troubles of life come upon us because we refuse to sit quietly for a while each day in our room."
Blaise Pascal
"I cannot be who I should be without times of quietness. Stillness is an essential part of growing deeper."
Charles R. Swindoll
Now, sit still for five more minutes.
Try this exercise at least three times a week for the remaining weeks of Lent and perhaps even beyond. Why?
Well, the Psalmist tells us why.
"Be still, and know that I am God..."
Psalm 46:10
