Be Still

I sat for a moment yesterday and thought, I’m going to sit with my kids and color. This is how far I was able to go with my banana scented marker, before I was needed elsewhere. It made me smile when it was pointed out to me. I was able to be still for all of 1 minute and 30 seconds but I still was able to meditate on these two very important words. BE STILL. Even if it’s for a minute, 30 minutes, or an entire day, there is value in being still.

Sometimes it’s a therapeutic massage and aromatherapy and sometimes it’s sitting and coloring scripture with scented markers.

Being still is important, but the second half of the verse is what really speaks to me. “And KNOW that I am God.”

This partially finished coloring page later was turned into a crumpled treasure map by my 3 year old. It’s not what I do when I am still, it’s what I know. Today I KNOW that HE is God.
