Recognizing I need to hear from God and taking the time to do it is two different things. I have spent a lifetime on the run. Mainly running from myself and my inner most feelings. Now more than ever, I want to keep busy and bury my head in the sand so I don’t have to deal with my emotions concerning Mom’s death. I feel that God is calling me to spend time with Him. I need to simply be still. That sounds simple, but when you’ve spent a life on the run, it’s anything but simple. I don’t have to just change my schedule, I have to change my thinking. Trying to fit God into one hour a day of devotion time is a joke. Is God really concerned about my time schedule and my “to-do” list for the day? Is He going to speak loud and clear to me from 6:00 to 7:00 AM? Maybe He will. Ultimately, I have to be open to hear Him all day long and I will start to truly tune in to His voice in my life. As I’ve mentioned before, this feeds into my fear of being alone, but I have to overcome that fear and “Be still, and know that HE IS God!”
Psalm 46:10 (NLT)
46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
