The Lord is jealous for us.
He spoke through my Psych text book today. As I was listening to a worship station on Pandora, the song 'Still' by Watermark came on. The part of the book I was reading was about the fight-or-flight response, our bodies automatic response to stress. As I was listening to a song about being still, I read: "...not all animals or people respond by fighting or fleeing. In face of danger, some animals become still (think of deer)..."
The lyrics went on,
"Still, let me be still
Let me be okay
With the quiet in my heart
Still, I want to be still
I'm so quick to move
Instead of listening to You
I'm your child
Tame my heart
Obedience
To me impart
Still"
Then I started to realize. How often do I forget to listen, how I'm so quick to move. Even animals like deer will become still in stressful situations. Is my heart longing to hear what He has to say in every moment of my life? even in the smallest things?
"Be still, and know that I am God..." Psalm 46:10
