Art of Being Still
'Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!' Psalms 46:10 In the midst of lockdown and life decision, this thought has been on my mind for a while now though I haven't written about it. When I think this verse, one of the images that come to me is that of Moses and Israelites in Exodus 14. When Israel came out of Egypt, they were caught between the Red Sea and Pharaoh's armies in pursuit. To be still and see the deliverance of the LORD was the call. But that isn't something I am good at. Being still. Yes, I am lazy (there. That's out on the Internet now) but that is different to being still. Especially when it seems like nothing is happening when there seems to be some other thing I can do. When I am stuck in a difficult place, I will struggle, scream and anything I can to try to break the hold on me. Sometimes it works and other times, I find myself in the same place again and again. Like being stuck...
