Be Still

Our electric went out for a few hours.

The lack of sound allowed the chimes on our back porch to penetrate the silence.

Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God" echoed through my mind.

When I think of the words be still, they remind of when I was a child, and 

I was told to keep quiet because we were somewhere where no one wanted to hear my voice.

Now when I think of be still, I know God wants me to dwell with Him and 

He wants to hear my voice through prayer and praise.

Be still and know God is with you.
