BE STILL – A poem

The following poem was shared by my mother-in-law who received it years ago.  It has been meaningful to her, and I love that she shared it with me.  Now I’d like to share it with you.  If you are familiar with it’s author, please let me know so I can give them credit!  Be blessed:

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD
WHEREVER YOU MAY BE,
YOU CANNOT GO BEYOND GOD’S REACH,
HE HEARS THE FAINTEST PLEA.
HE KNOWS THE PROBLEMS THAT YOU FACE,
THE HURT YOU’RE GOING THROUGH,
BECAUSE YOU ARE HIS OWN DEAR CHILD,
HE WANTS WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU.
HE HOLDS THE FUTURE IN HIS HANDS,
HE SEES WHAT LIES AHEAD,
AND HE WILL SAFELY GUIDE YOU
THROUGH THIS TIME THAT YOU NOW DREAD.
OH WEARY ONE, KNOW THAT GOD IS NEAR,
TRUST IN HIS WILL AND WAY,
HE IS WAITING THERE TO HELP YOU
HE’S JUST A PRAYER AWAY.

Welcome to my REFLECTIONS blog

I’m so glad you stopped by.  I hope you find thminibluecross_blankdarkese reflections helpful in your quiet time with God.  I would welcome your comments and insights so we can have conversation about how God’s Word is speaking to each of us.

A couple years ago when working with a wellness coach, she asked me what areas of my life I needed help with.  We work on my eating habits, as it was clear to me I was not eating enough fruits and vegetables.  My spiritual life was even more pathetic, and my coach asked me what I could do to improve that.  The answer that came to me was to read through the book of Psalms and journal my thoughts and reflections.  I began this on a sporadic basis at first, but then it began to take shape in my life, and I began to do the same with other books of the Bible.  Now I am feeling like God wants me to share this with you.  So, get ready, find a comfortable place, and enjoy!  Let God speak to you today!
