Reflections 10/21/2020: I am wired to be active! So when it comes to being “still” before You Lord, it takes focus and discipline to not grab something tangible to interact with! Books, journals, my Bible, my phone’s devotional apps. ANYTHING but silence and stillness. So today as I sat in Your Presence, and I resisted the urge to start pecking away my “Reflections” on my phone, I found myself praying Psalm 139:24,24. “Search me O God… ferret out the stuff displeasing you You! Do the deep cleansing work in me that I can’t consciously get at myself! Perhaps don’t even know needs to be done! But You do! So, have at it! Permission granted!” It struck me how similar that felt to siccing my antivirus on any unwanted invaders that might have compromised my computer! Unseen… but none-the-less damaging! Run the scan! Ferret out the bad stuff! Can’t see it at work, but must believe something cleansing is happening!! Sooo God, bring this picture of inner activity humming inside of me when I am restless in my “be STILL and know that You are God” moments each morning! You are active, even when I am not! Hmm… maybe even more so when I let You do Your work, unmuddled by childish “assistance!”
