Christmas time for me got real busy. It seemed like wherever I turned there was something to do it somewhere to be. I went from one place to the other, not stopping to get a breath.
Have you felt like that? Especially during the holiday seasons? You run from here to there, not stopping long enough to breathe or talk to God??
What does the Bible say about this?
Exodus 14:13: Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
1 Peter 3:4: But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
Psalm 46:10: Be still, and know that I am God:I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
These are just a few verses about being quiet in your heart, and standing still before God. That’s where he wants us. In a still and quiet place where we can see God working and moving. And where we can talk to him. When we are busy running around, we forget God’s goodness and faithfulness. When we are quiet and still before him, we can see him moving and we remember.
Let’s remember to take time out for Christ. Remember he is your creator and friend. Make an effort to stop during the business and thank God, and remember his faithfulness.
