STILL

STILL HYMN My first creative project. I have no idea how to download this. haha...so hopefully it will all work.

In week 4 we discussed taking time with God, being still. Looking into that secret place and doing some house keeping, if you will. I am not good at being "still". I am always on the move. But, my hunger for the Lord and what he has for me is leading to a place of stillness.

This past summer, I took a week off and went up to the town of Sedona, Arizona. Yes this town is known for its mystical type religions etc etc. But, being a christian, all i saw there was Gods creation. I took time to go on walks and do some photography and to just sit and be still.

While sitting with my bible in one hand and my camera in the other, I came across Psalm 34: 4-5, I sought the Lord and he answered me, he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, their faces are never covered with shame.

I was amazed by this passage in the bible. In the stillness a little hymn came into my mind and i jotted it down. Its nothing fancy, Its very, well, hymn like, but it spoke to my heart. When I seek the Lord, he is there. He sets me free. There is peace from my busy days. And the promise in verse 5...those who look to him are radiant. Wow, don't we all want that. To be glowing with the radiance of Christ.

Taking the time, to be still. What a treasure, what a gift from God.
