Be Still

  Today I find myself rushing around. Try to catch up. It was a busy weekend and I didn't get much of my "daily work" done. The laundry and dishes are piling up. The layer of dust needs attention. The crumbs on the floors needs to be vacuumed. Plants watered, time with my youngster (Who just informed he that he is a super spy. Trying to find the "cookie girl", whose locked in the "shrimp room", I have to pause to laugh).  

  Many things to do and very little time to get it all done. I just feel myself rushing rushing, cant seem to catch up. I say kind of a prayer while I rush around. "God help me to get this done."

  To my surprise he didn't make me move at warp speed but instead his soft and still voice whispered, "Be still, Colleen, and know that I am God". 

  Wait....WHAT! I stop rushing. Is that you Lord? Did I hear you right. "I am the Lord that leads you. Be still and know that I am God" Sigh. I realize I  haven't even invited him into my day. I didn't ask him what he wanted me to do today :( 

  God knows my heart and that is why he is reminding me. I want to be totally sold out for him. That means that if he wants me to do something or go somewhere, that is what I want to be doing.

  He wont barge in. He waits to be invited. God will lead if I am willing follow. To give him my time and talent, is the only way for me not to waste it. If I am willing to be used by Him, He will do wonderful things!
