7th Day of Blogmas!
Hi everyone!!!! I hope you had a magnificent weekend!!! Christmas is approaching so quickly it’s kind of insane!!! Today is the 7th day of blogmas and the verse I chose for today is Psalms 46:10.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God…
There is a little more to this verse but I really just wanted to focus on this one part.
Be still… for a person whose brain is constantly racing with thoughts, this is nearly impossible. I am constantly thinking about things… school, my friends, my family, my mentors, my life, God, the world around me, what am I doing, what should I be doing, does *fill in a name* like me, am I good enough, etc etc. IT NEVER STOPS!!! And it hurts so much. I wish that my brain would just stop. That I would be able to just “shut it down” (by shutting down I mean like my thoughts, I don’t want to die) and just be still.
Today during church we had a moment to be still and reflect on what was being said. Idk if it was God or just my subconscious, but it was telling me stop. That I think too much and I just need to stop. I need to quiet myself and just stop thinking about stuff. I need to pause the race and focus on what really matters… God.
When you focus on God all the chaos in your mind disappears. I just imagine Him taking all the chaos and straightening it all out. And you know why He can do that? Because He’s God. He’s our Savior, our Everlasting Father, and our Prince of Peace. He created every single one of us. He has all the power in the world, your chaos is a mere speck to Him. But He’s not going to straighten it out for you whenever He feels like it, He’ll do it when you invite Him to. God doesn’t push Himself on us, He waits until we ask Him to come to us. He’s a good father.
I encourage you, that sometime this week (not even everyday, but just sometime!) take a moment and be still. Quiet yourself and reflect on God, He’ll fill you with peace. I hope you have a peaceful rest of your day/night!! And remember to walk in love and keep doing you!!
XOXO,
