Embracing the Quiet

Psalm 46:10: “Be still, and know that I am God.  I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”

I enjoy the early morning quiet. Before the noise of the day begins. The gentle song of the bird, the crowing of the rooster. Taking in the quiet, looking out at God’s creation. Today, we are forced to take in the quiet as we stay home. But what a blessing that has become. We are embracing these quiet sounds of the morning, the glorious sunrises to start the day. As we slow down and take notice, we are finding God in these quiet moments, praising Him for who He is, thanking Him for the birds, the sunrise, His creation.

Worshipping God every day, not just once a week or when our busy calendar frees us. Let us continue to see God working in our lives, to recognize Him in His creation, to draw near to Him with praise and thanksgiving, as our lives slowly return to normal. Let the new normal bring a return to our faith, to the God we knew and loved as a child. Let us proclaim His love for us as He keeps us and gives us strength with each new day.
