Going Slow with Dr. Low

We`ve all heard ``Be still and know that I am God`` but I saw an interesting twist on that Biblical quote on Facebook the other day which said, ``Be still and know that you are not God``.

That is what happens when we move to fast and don`t take time to stop, listen, reflect and pray.  When we`re running around hastily trying to hold it all together and even control things so they don`t unwind we step into God`s shoes which is overstepping our bounds.

This is why stillness is encouraged in Scripture.  Stillness the best way to listen and the best way to get perspective on who God is and who we are.  It often involves quietness and maybe even solitude but stillness is a step further than that.  You can be quiet but not still, you can be alone but not still.  Stillness is a presence of heart, mind, soul and body as much as it is the lack of noisy surroundings.

So take some time to still yourself; still your heart, soul, mind and even body and allow God to whisper His gracious truth into you as you become more grounded, centered and focused.

Be still...
