"Be still and know that I am God"
God commands that we do what is good for us - to be still and be with Him.
Stillness is counter-cultural in our world that values constant communication, motion, accomplishment. Yet all that busy-ness, all the going can keep us from truly feeling our feelings and letting God be at work in our hearts.
Be Still, God says.
Just Be.
Be still, and in quiet listen to God.
Connect with God.
Let God open up your heart and be at work inside you.
