Oh noisy soul that stirs for
many of the things you long for, but also is distracted by much that you
struggle against, be still. Quiet
yourself away from the noises and voices and beeps that are always a moment
away and the often more subtle internal commands that you’ve been dictated by
for years. Be still.
Draw close to Him, my soul. Be still. Let Him hold you close and whisper His words into your ear,
so that you can know what a good home feels like. Be still. Let
Him hold you so you can remember that He is the safe place. Be still. Breathe deeply.
Rest.
Draw close and listen for His
heartbeat against your ear, a rhythm that sings “You’re mine and I delight in
you.” Be still and let that song
fill your mind and heart with everything that He will sing to you. There is much you haven’t heard. Be still. Exhale the tensions that have become the brash staccato of
your day and the tightness of your muscles. Be still. And
wait there, receiving whatever gift He speaks to you today.
There is healing and joy for
you. Be still. Today might only be one step of the way
forward, but receive what He has for you.
He will walk with you forward, faithful in every step. Be still.
