I originally posted this on Friday, but was having blog issues…but’s its here now 🙂

I am glad that so much movement happens in this stillness. – Richard Land
Practicing stillness isn’t a strength of mine, but something I’m striving for. And this amazing thing keeps happening when I am able to be still: I start understanding what’s going on. Ha! imagine that. Instead of trying to figure it out because I’m so busy trying to figure out how to make the next thing happen, when I am still and quiet and focused…everything becomes clearer.
And because I lack this ability to be still so too often, I am becoming ever more grateful for God’s stillness, for His unchanging way. When I move, He remains. When I do something without thinking it through, His plan never shifts. When I lose sight of what it is I know to do, He keeps still.
And yet, when I am still, He is moving. He is building and putting pieces together. He’s working in the background. His plan is coming to fruition.
I’ve just finished the “5 minute Friday” challenge, encouraged by the team over at incourage. See how others’ interpreted the word here.
