Being Still

Recently Lindsay sent me a song, it's called Still, by Watermark. It got me thinking of the business we have on our lives and how often we forget to stop and spend time with the Lord. Why do we put this off? Why do I put this off? I don't know. I have a million excuses for doing so.

Every night at 11pm my alarm goes off. I set this so I remember to take my medication before bed. And I thought, wow, I take the time out of my night to go down stairs get a water come back up and take my meds but I can't set aside the time to routinely spend time with the Lord! Ick! How ungrateful. So I started setting my alarm for 10:30 every night to stop and take time out to spend time in the word. Even if its 5 minutes.

Still by Watermark

The more I get alone
The more I see I need to get alone more, more
Cause just when I think that I'm alone
Your Spirit calls out to me
And even silence has a song
Cause that's when you come
Sing over me

Still, let me be still
Let me be OK
With the quiet in my heart
Still, I want to be still
I'm so quick to move
Instead of listening to you
Shut my mouth
Crush my pride
Give me the tears
Of a broken life,
Still

Oh this world, it falls around me
And flutters all it's beauty in my eyes
But let me choose the solitude
Simplicity has always simply changed my life
Cause even stillness makes me move
Cause that's when my heart
Learns to dance with you

Still, let me be still
Let me be OK
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
