Be Still

Sometimes, especially if I haven't slept well for awhile or if I have a cold, my thoughts can get dark and messy. I'm drawn to not only negative thoughts, but untrue thoughts. God's been teaching me to "be still and know that He is God." Ps. 46:10

Sometimes "be still" means I actually slow down, lie in a hammock, or sit and watch the sunset. Sometimes it means I push away thoughts that race around and overwhelm. And, with the Spirit's help, I "know that He is God"; I focus on true things about His character, or my place as His child in Christ, or just about how pretty He made the sky and things I'm thankful for. A dark day can turn bright and exciting. I'm so thankful for His teaching!
