Be Near

You know it's easy to get caught up in the noise of life and miss the masterpiece God is painting for the sake of a few brush strokes. I've been sitting in my office for a couple of hours now, planning, playing songs, scanning the web for videos, and then I start to realize that I'm missing God. I mean I'm doing all of this for him but in the midst I'm getting lost.

I am reminded of Psalm 46:10 which reads, 'Be still, and know that I am God...' Too often we get busy with life or work or even family and God is saying, shhhh... stop, quiet down, be still. We have to take the time to slow down and come and sit in our Father's presence. Turn off the TV, turn off the radio, and even turn off the computer. James 4 says, 'Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.'

My encouragement to you all is this, and this is for myself just as much, take some time, draw near to God and find the rest we so desperately need and can only get from Him.
