"TAKE TIME TO BE STILL in My Presence. The
more hassled you feel, the more you need this sacred space
of communion with Me. Breath slowly and deeply. Relax in
My holy Presence while My Face shines upon you. This is
how you receive My Peace, which I always proffer to you.
Imagine the pain I feel when My children tie themselves up in
anxious knots, ignoring My gift of Peace. I died a criminal's
death to secure this blessing for you. Receive it gratefully; hide
it in your heart. My Peace is an inner treasure, growing within
you as you trust in Me. Therefore, circumstances cannot touch
it. Be still, enjoying Peace in My Presence."
Psalm 46:10; Numbers 6:25-26
From Jesus Calling by Sarah Young
Can you believe October is almost half over? I know for me I am entering a busy season, and if I am not intentional I will not take the time to be still. So before I am deep into the busyness this time of year can bring I want to remind myself and my sweet friends to take time and be still.
And for some reason I am having a hard time doing this...which tells me I really need it.

Thank you
for this absolutely nourishing post.
Yes, yes, yes....I want to honor Peace
Himself by drawing near and letting my
heart keep pace with His unforced rhythms.
Still learning to be still
....especially while in motion,
embracing that it doesn't mean
doing nothing at all
...but that it's extremely productive,
and life-giving
and fierce
and responsible.
Thanks for reminding me
that it honors Him
....that it is worship.
