Each Monday, we share a project that relates to being a Christian woman and living out our Titus 2 roles in real life. For more information about this feature or to submit a project idea, click here.
This week’s project is:
to be still.
Are you like me? Move, move, move. Go, go, go. My feet rarely stop moving from the moment I get out of bed until I lay my head on my pillow. This is exhausting! Also, I think that I do this sometimes because I feel that I have to take care of things, I have to get things done. If I don’t, then who will? What will happen?
During especially busy or stressful times in my life, I am continually reminding myself of my need to be still before the Lord. Psalm 46 is titled God Is Our Fortress. It starts by saying, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
The Psalm continues and includes this little line, tucked in near the end, “Be still, and know that I am God.”
Most recently when I was reading this I thought about how when I am moving, moving, moving and getting things, I seemingly accomplish the tasks set before me in my own effort. However, sometimes when we are still we allow God to work and we get to see first hand His wonderful works and know that He is God.
Is there a situation in your life that you have been trying and trying to resolve with no progress? Could it possibly be an opportunity to be still and witness God do amazing things?
Be still with me this week.
Are you going to complete this week’s challenge? If so, add a link to your blog below:
Lord, teach us to be still before you. Lord, we want to witness you working in our lives. We want to see you and know that you are God. Please, Lord, help us to be still. Amen.
What a great reminder! I, too, am on the go constantly, but it really makes me cherish the times that I am still before the Lord! Thanks, Ashley!
I really loved this post. I too find that I am always going and doing and I do little of just sitting still for a while. I have heard a few people say that when they say their prayers they have a notebook by their bed and then they stop and listen. Others have suggested to have a quiet place to go during the day for down time.
We do need to be still and listen for that still small voice.
Enjoy your quiet moments!
Sorry that my link is on there twice; I don’t know how I managed that. Take of if you are able too.
Thanks and blessings to you!
