Has God ever instructed you to slow down? Just stop! Has He ever said…you’re doing too much? I want you to stand still long enough to appreciate everything around you…to sit and watch my creation…to observe my seasons…to allow the wind to kiss your face…to feel the moist grass between your toes…to bend down and smell one of my beautiful flowers…to lay on your back and look up at the clouds…to walk slowly in the rain…to peer out of your window at the falling snow…to feel the warmth of the summer sun on your skin…to frolick in His ocean…what things of beauty has He placed all around that you miss every day? I am certain that when life is seeping out…no one longs for another contract to look at…or another time sheet to sign..but instead…the great desire is to see another sunset…to gaze up at the moon…to inhale the fragrance of a summer garden…well…sisters…all of this is available to us NOW…refuse to live in regret for what you could have appreciated today…slow down…stop…and you will find that in drinking in all of the beauty of God’s great creation…peace will wash over you…your breathing will slow…your heart rate will be lowered…your mind will be instantly connected to the God who created it all…you will have stopped long enough to recognize His Diety…and that sisters is the greatest reason to slow down…I hope you stop long enough today to appreciate His greatness…And when you appreciate it…remember to thank Him for it…because He created it all just for us!
“He says, Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations I will be exalted in the earth” Psalm 46:10
