Be Still



"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!" Psalm 46:10
This picture of Rachel and Brogan is one of my absolute favorites. It was taken soon after we moved here and we were exploring the area.
What i love about this photograph is that they are both being still and they are not posing for the camera as they usually do. It is as if they are lost in the moment and just enjoying the beauty that surrounds them.
Every time i see this i am reminded of Psalm 46:10. The words, "Be still", speak boldly to me.
How is it that seems so simple can be so difficult for me to practice? Even when the house is quiet and no one else is around i busy myself with mindless chores that really don't have to be done but the thought of being still and listening gets me thinking of activity i could be doing. Busyness is something i know all too well. Stillness and quietness...not so well.
I am praying God will change this about me.
