How many things are on your "To Do" list today? If you are anything like me, it is many things indeed! And that is not even counting all the other things that you need to do, but which never even made it onto the list! They are still running around in your brain, as you know you need to do them and do not want to forget something important! And yet--
God tells us to be still.
Did you catch that in today's reading? In reading through Psalm 46 this morning, God told me to be still. It is right there in verse 10:
"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
You see--God misses me when I rush throughout my day. When I hit the floor running, when do not take time to talk with Him.
There was a really good study note in my Bible today. It reads as follows:
"In all who are under the training of God is to be revealed a life that is not in harmony with the world, its customs, or its practices; and everyone needs to have a personal experience in obtaining a knowledge of the will of God. We must individually hear Him speaking to the heart. When every other voice is hushed, and in quietness we wait before Him, the silence of the soul makes more distinct the voice of God."
The Desire of Ages, E. G. White, p. 363
Are we waiting before Him? If not, we are missing out on something way more important than our "To Do" list!
Spend some time waiting today. It is the most important thing you can do.
