Doing nothing is something

Filed under: Faith — Christa Allan @ 9:52 am

I’m reading Experiencing God by Henry T. Blackaby and Claude T. King because I want to (experience God, that is) and because someone on some blog I frequent recommended it highly. I wish I could remember the name of that blogger person so I could thank him/her.

Highlighting and note-jotting my way through Chapter 3, my eye-brakes slammed at this:

“I think God is crying out and shouting to us, ‘Don’t just do something. Stand there! Enter into a love relationship with Me. Get to know Me. Adjust your life to Me. Let Me love you and reveal myself to you as I work through you.’ “

Excuse me. I’m now going to simply stand and do nothing.

That’s why scripture says, “be still and know that I am God.”
We all run, rush, and keep ourselves busy, noisy and abstracted.
We can’t see, we can’t hear, we miss Him so often.
Good luck!

abstracted? or did I mean distracted?
yes, distracted. =)

Amen to that. We have forgotten the value of standing still.

(And eye-brakes? I’m keeping that one…)

Veronica, you may not be so far off with “abstracted” because it’s not being grounded that’s the problem!

Lyla, we can certainly share “eye-brakes”!
