I guess sometimes God is silent. He's not gone, He just doesn't have anything to say to me. Maybe those are God's chillax days.
I've been a bit tight today. Maybe I should chillax with God. Hmmm, that reminds me of a thought I wrote out a couple months ago. Would you like to read it...?
Gallop
The little blue marble we know as Earth is a very fast-paced area to reside. From the time we are born, to the day we die, we are taught that fast is good, and slow is bad.
When we are infants, we are entertained to our hearts content. Almost never do we go a moment, at that age, where we aren’t the center of attention, being played with or being taken care of. When we move on to early childhood there are games and television amongst other forms of entertainment. In games, board games, or computer games, the pieces are always stirring. Something is always going on. With television, the whole concept of TV is that everything is moving. Commercials, cartoons, educational shows, they are all continually shifting, never resting for a moment. As we grow older, we then receive cell phones, then cars, and then jobs. These enforce a fast pace even more.
Cell phones, the internet, new forms of transportation: they all make the world go faster, and become smaller. The population enjoys these things, but they also despise them. Why do you think people take vacations? But even vacations are full of speed and activity.
So what are we to do in a world that refuses to slow down? Well, even if we can’t make the rest of the residents of Earth slow from their gallop, we can make time for ourselves. Psalm 46:10 says to “Be still and know I am God.” Have you ever made the connection that God most often appears to people in dreams? Maybe that is because that’s the only time most people take to rest.
In a world where our entire lives are full, we need to remember to take some time to be still, and just... chill with God….
