Be Still

Life had accelerated to a dizzying pace do this- go there- a madcap race that made no sense no reason or rhyme but you never noticed for who had the time? You meant no harm but spiritual disciplines that once meant so much ~ had to go ~ as they seemed outmoded cumbersome and slow so you filled their place with easier ideals cheaper tools with mass appeal to carry on your frantic climb But over time the rope you clung to tattered and frayed suddenly giving way and down you fell into your well of good intentions Now life postponed your journey stopped halted hindered barricaded blocked you seem surprised and even shocked at the taste of this bitter pill for you've forgotten how to Be Still For stillness seems such a waste of time must be doing efficiently producing busy machines on assembly lines but no- for now, at least it all must cease and Be Still “Be Still and Know...” Know what? That your life was in a rut until He kindly set you free- free to be Still “Be Still and Know...” By blinders or bits using any means necessary He often tames rebellious wills like we break wild horses turning minds around changing life courses by making us Still “Be Still and Know...” Life, and what you hold were never in your control during development of character through means not preferred painfully spurred toward the goal of a more perfect soul
