This Very Moment – Being vs Doing

Be. Be still. Be still and know. Be still and know that I am. Be still and know that I am God.
Mountain Meadow This way of praying through Psalm 46:10 is a great way to pause and allow your “being” to refuel all the “doing” that lies ahead. Repeat the phrases above a few times while listening to the music. Consider pausing a few times throughout your day to reflect on Psalm 46:10. Gives thanks for life’s blessings that come to mind. Remember a time that God helped you through, or maybe even a time when He did something amazing. Cherish life’s moments today. What area in my life needs a little more “being” before I keep “doing?” “…Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life…” (John 5:24, The Message)
