STOP




So many of us struggle to stop.
We do,do, do and go, go go, somehow afraid that if we cease our efforts we will cease to be. Or that by stopping we will expose ourselves to the ever present realities we work to keep at bay.

God is a busy God, who works to create calm within the chaos of our days.

Of course it's possible to know God while running here and there. But the Psalmist's invitation to cease striving beckons us into a different kind of knowing. A knowing that we can stop - and still be - because God never stops. A knowing that it is God's power that gives us ultimate value, protection and peace.
