Be Still & Know. . .

Go ahead, take a breath. Breathe deep and pause for a minute. Maybe more than a minute. With less than two weeks left before school, many will be trying to take advantage of these last few precious days of summer holidays. Do this, do that and get this done and, and, and.

At times like these we try to cram as much into the little time available. Reminiscent of cramming for finals. We started our summer with our first priority being, relax. Did you get that part done? I thought so. Now we all start thinking, where did the time go and we have not done much after all. So, it’s a sprint to September 6^th.  Or is it?

Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe the relaxing part is all God wanted us to do? Maybe this is that break from life that God gave to us to ready ourselves for another activity filled fall and winter. Maybe, just maybe the summer is there to help us realize that being is better than doing. And just maybe it needed to include just being with Him. James 4:8 “Come near to God and he will come near to you.”   Have you taken opportunity to spend time with Him this summer?

Something to think about.
