"Be still, and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10
For those just emerging from the glories of a slow-down-and-savor-life spring break, how ironic that the Weekly Word to Live By is STOP! What a word to consider when it's time for us to rev up our engines and get going again. As we re-enter our work zones, the extra time spent visiting family and friends, resting and refreshing just makes us long for more occasions to STOP the rush and crush of our typical daily lives. And yet, we do have the power to make purposeful stops in our routines.
This week, let's make sure we STOP every day to listen to what God wants to tell us in His Word and through His creation. And if there's anything in our hearts, minds, or emotions we need to STOP nursing, cursing, or rehearsing, try reversing those negatives into positives by blessing the one or the thing causing the aggravation or distress.
Springtime is the perfect time for rebirth or renewal. May we STOP long enough and often enough to allow God to activate that process in us this week.
Blessings,
