Be Still Once More - Daily Inspiration

He says, "Be still and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.
The Lord Almighty is with us,
the God of Jacob is our fortress
— Psalm 46: 10-11

Be still.

That's a hard thing for a lot of us. Our busy lives push us to check out our Facebook wall, our Twitter feed, and our email. And that's all before we dive into our daily job with all its busyness and rush, rush, rush.

Not a lot of stillness happening out there.

I was watching the OWN Network a week or so back and a show came across my screen portraying a town in Iowa where everyone meditated twice a day. Even the young kids, the high schoolers, everyone.

They had the little children do a walking meditation where they walked around campus for five minutes saying a single word silently to themselves over and over in their mind.

I think that's pretty cool, but what if we took that one step further. What if when we meditated we put our thoughts on the will of God, a scripture or something else that would draw us closer to our Maker.

After all, what you focus on expands. And wouldn't you rather expand the will of God in your life, or God's word than fretting on all the troubles we dwell on each day?

Be still and know that He is God.
Be still and know that He is with you.
Be still and know that His unfailing love fills your heart and heals you.
He's with you.
Be still.
