Be Still and Know

I've been running wide open this week. Normally, I make sure I have at least three days AT HOME, with no commitments, no place to go. This week that wasn't possible. I didn't even get my two hour quiet times during each day. I can feel the exhaustion that has set in. I am edgy, short fused and feel like a rubber band that could snap at any moment.
I have heard Psalm 46:10 quoted in many settings lately. "Be still, and know that I am God." I know I cannot run around and do, do, do without losing the focus of who God is and what He is doing around me. I miss the God whispers, I miss the revelation He's giving to my children and others around me, I miss my times of quiet communion with Him. I am reminded that there is NOTHING that is more precious than my time with Him. There is NOTHING that matters more than being filled up with Him so that what spills out of my is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. I want His fruit to grown in my life! (Galatians 5:22) I do not what chaos, confusion, grumpiness and weariness being the fruit on my life tree.

So, today, I take a deep breath. Nothing is on the calendar. No one is scheduled to come for dinner. The household chores are caught up. The boys need a "down day" as much as I do. Today, I may read a bit. I may blog a bit. I may take a really long nap. I may order pizza so I don't have to cook. Today, I will be still. I will remember...HE IS GOD. I AM NOT. If I take a break, I promise, the world will keep spinning! ♥
