“Be still and know that I am God.” ~ Psalm 46:10
The Advent devotional The Gift of the PRESENT (downloadable version HERE, plus email option) for December 12th is entitled “The Here and Now.” The author mentions that their solution for remaining present is to begin morning devotions with Psalm 46:10 (above.) Maybe worth a try for tomorrow morning? 🙂
In a season that seems to be filled with action, isn’t it nice sometimes just to savor a few deep breaths while enjoying where you are and being mindful? During those “be still” moments, so much can invade, including large measures of gratitude.
Enjoy the day, filled with deep breaths and the Spirit!
