Slow it down

Life is full of so many decisions and things to worry about in the midst of them, what do I do! Seriously, not that I'm stopping and breaking down from too much stress or a lack of wisdom but I feel I never have time to just wait and reflect on what's been going on in and around me. I guess that's something God's been telling me I need to do lately, to just relax and look at my life, the events and people rushing by around me and just thank Him for the air, to observe the trees and ocean a little bit. I'm often very critical of the way many people are going nonstop even when they're sitting in a chair and watching TV, now I'm realizing more and more: That's me!

The words "Be still and know that I am God..." are echoing in my mind with such conviction that it would be disobedient not to! I could really stand to be more appreciative of this life I have with Jesus, rather than try and stuff so much into my life. I repent for all those hurried studies of the Word, for the quick and selfish prayers that when compared with my attitude might as well be going into thin air. My God is intimate and Personal, I know that, but Jesus may my life and my thoughts truly reflect that!
