RIGHT HERE!! RIGHT HERE!!

“Be still and know that I am God.”

All God asks of us is simply to be still. So often we are trying to fill our lives with activities to keep us entertained. Then we wonder why we keep falling into sin. Possibly we are falling into the wrong things, or even the wrong crowd. Maybe when we sin we are pursuing the wrong ends. Simply put, God is the highest end, an end in itself. Why not pursue Him in all that we do.

But how can we know God? Do just as he says: “Be still.” At times I find myself pursuing an end that is not as productive as God. So then I begin to look for ways to find and pursue God while interacting with others. I also look for ways to become God myself. But in all of this, it is so easy for me to forget the ones right in front of me. That’s right; I get so busy looking for God that I miss him right in front of my face. Why do I need to look for tasks to find God in, when he is only a phone call away? All I have to do is get out my cell phone, choose a name, and hit send.

“Be still,” he says, “for I am right in front of your face!”
