Listen..

“Be still and know that I am God”..
Psalms 46:10

Have you thought about what it means to be “still”?
For some it means stopping what they are doing and physically being still while for others myself including, it means to quiet my heart, leave the anxiety behind, breathe deep and listen.

Be still..
Be quiet, Be at peace, Be hopeful, Be joyful, Be expectant, Wait for me.

And know..
Be intimate with me, Be in relationship with me, Talk to me, Listen for me

That I am God..
I am the beginning and end to your questions, I am involved in your process, I am aware of your life, I am strong, I am here for you to run to.

Today, find a way to quiet yourself from all the noise of the world.
Listen to the sound of quietness within you. What is the quiet speaking to you today?

Next blog entry.. Stillness..

Pulling Together

“It's better to have a partner than go it alone Share the work, share the wealth. And if one falls down, the other helps, But if there's no one to help, tough!. “ Ecclesiastes 4:9 (The Message)

I love the truth that this passage of scripture communicates. How many of us have struggled with being a lone ranger at times? While it is true, that there are some things that you need to do yourself and initiate yourself and take responsibility, that does not mean that you do not have a strong core of support behind you to keep you on the right path, to counsel and encourage and to speak up when your path takes an odd turn.

I want to encourage you today to be the best friend that everyone wants to be around.
Be the person that everyone runs to in a time of need. Did you know just by being there and encouraging your friend, that you are helping them on their journey.
Your smile, your letter of encouragement, that extra phone call, or email are all ways that you are “pulling with them”.

Think about a tug of war match and how the contestants are straining so hard. What would happen if one of those people let go of the rope? Their friend would fall in the water, or pit or whatever was in the gap. Consider again the scripture I started the blog with. “It's better to have a partner than go it alone Share the work, share the wealth. And if one falls down, the other helps, But if there's no one to help, tough”

Remember.. “One can put a thousand to flight, but two can put ten thousand..”

Anyone want to pull together today and see what we can do?
