Since the stroke the Lord has been calling me to spend time with Him. I had previously written about this as a ‘dialogue’ with Him, but this has become more specific, as He has prompted me to meditate, to really spend quality time with Him. In Hebrew meditate ‘hagah’ also means to murmur or mutter, I love this idea of speaking softly under my breath to the Lord, an intimate continuous conversation.
This week I was brought further, the Lord wanting me to ‘be still’ in His presence. I am already finding this quite difficult as I tend to want to listen to a devotional or our playlist of worship songs. But I want to persevere and was reminded of the lyrics from ‘A Good Good Father’: “As you call me deeper still, as you call me deeper still...into love.”
Recently, my mind has been overwhelmed with questions about the past and the future. I feel like my life has been arrested and I am looking back and forwards simultaneously. Today I tried to spend ‘still’ time with the Lord and was drawn to Psalm 131 “I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have calmed and quietened myself...like a weaned child I am content”. As I endeavour to be ‘still’, the promise is that I will come to a place of contentment. Amen!
