Good day.


What have past experiences with silence been like for you? For many people - boring! Boredom can be the worst, and most of us avoid it like the plague.


Avoiding boredom is often just a defense mechanism against the uncomfortable feelings and thoughts that we need to deal with.


So why would God ask us just to sit still and meditate? He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:10)



Stillness makes us aware of those uncomfortable feelings and thoughts while providing an opportunity to become aware of God’s presence as well. Being still is one of the ways that we show up for God. He has the healing and strength we need, but we have to get quiet so that we can notice and receive that from Him.


Join us in making time to sit quietly in God's presence today.


Blessings.

Mike and Daphne
