Be Still And Know That I Am God

Usually by this time of the year most of us are tired of winter and ready for it to be over with already. We're tired of the cold short days and long nights. Tired of reading books, eating soup and being couped up. We're ready to be outside more, we're longing for spring to set us free of the winter blues. However, there's nothing like a trip to the snow covered mountains in the dead of winter. The air is fresh and clean and the vistas are breathtaking. The solitude and the majesty of the mountains, for me has a calming and refreshing affect on my soul. No wonder the psalmist says that God is our rock, our high mountain. When we go to God, our high mountain we can gain a better, a higher perspective. When we go to God our rock, we can find a refuge for our soul. For in the presence of the holy, we are made whole as the gentle breeze of the Spirit speaks peace and comfort to our soul. Be still and know that I am God....that's sometimes hard to do in our busy life filled with so many voices screaming out to get our attention, so many things that need to be done. And yet, that's God's daily invitation to us! The majestic mountain of God's goodness and grace whispers to us, ever inviting us to view life from a higher plain and to know God's peace in the midst of life's busyness and heartaches.
