Stillness--It's a Choice



October 9, 2012
I was journaling about wanting to spend more time with the Lord while my husband was gone on his trip.   "Father, show me Your plan," I asked.  These words came:

"Be still and know that I am God.

There's a quiet hush I want you to experience, no music, no phones, nor internet or distractions.  Just Me and you and quiet. 

Are you ready?

Quiet your mind." 

Then I saw myself walking down this darkened hallway toward a lighted space.  I reached out with my hands and lightly brushed the walls on either side, tentatively moving forward, not knowing what was before me.

I entered a large lecture hall with stadium seating (like a university lecture hall).  I am alone with incredible LIGHT.  Ecstatic yet totally at peace.

I heard, "Take a seat."  I climbed the middle section of stairs and took a seat about halfway up.  Putting my elbows on the desktop, I leaned forward in anticipation.

"Be still.  Stillness is pregnant with possibility but it is perceived as an empty waste.  In the stillness I speak My best lines of truth and you have time to consider and engage, tasting and chewing. Selah.
There is none like Me in all the earth.  Why do you run from one blog to the next to glean some jewel of delight when I am the Maker of the jewels and know how to delight you more than any other?"

Tears of repentance ran with abandon.  "Forgive me Father for going to any other but You.  Forgive me and draw me into Your presence."

"Do you have time?"

"Yes, Father, my times are in Your hands.  Use it as You will."
