Pouring My Heart Out to You

Another late night for me…its 3:34 am and I’m wide awake…I don’t mind it though. It is simply peaceful. At this wee hour of the morning, I can sit and think. To ponder about the day that I just had, and to think of the day I’ll have tomorrow. So many thoughts are going through my head but one remains far greater than any other…and that is God’s voice whispering, “Be still…and know…that I…am GOD”. I’m the type of person that loves to plan ahead and try to figure out what I want to happen with my life. And, although planning is good, I’ve come to realize that when we plan…God laughs. By planning so much, I sometimes miss the simplicity of life and the things that God is trying to show me. During night time, everything seems to slow down; life in general, my mind…my heart…my soul. It is one of my favorite times. I love going outside and watching the stars, trying to catch fireflies and they flicker around the night sky. I love how everything…including time…just seems to stop and the beauty we seem to miss so many times throughout the day shines so bright. It amazes me every time just how big our universe is, and how small I am…how small we all are in comparison to the immensity of God. I feel so many times that my problems are so big, but when placed in a larger perspective, are truly minimal. I have nothing to worry, fear, stress about. Just as the beauty of the night brings peace, so does God’s quiet whisper to me about being still.

“Be still and know that I am God.” Pslam 46:10
