Learning To Be Still

Why do you have to be still?
Because that is when you hear from the Lord
Because that is when you know what to do 
God doesn't come to you
when you are busy
He could
But He comes to you when you are most open
And are listening
Do you always know what to do?
You don't
And that is when you seek the Lord
You seek the Lord in times of trouble
You seek the Lord when time is fair
You seek the Lord now and every way
Does God come to you unannounced?
Yeah
Only when you are most receptive
when you don't have things on your mind
Only when you stop talking
And guessing
Only when you are in perfect still
Yeah that is when He comes in
That is when you get the answer
Happy chow down
