Can I have a minute,
just to breathe,
to sit and be still,
and not respond immediately
to everything
and everyone.
Can I have a minute,
to pause,
to reflect,
to not rush past
the 'Selah' of your Word.
Can I have a minute
to grieve,
to recognize
what I have lost,
and how my life
has changed irrevocably.
Can I have a minute
to choose to say no
to the ever flowing
tide of information,
that demands
something of my soul.
Can I have a minute
to just
be.
Modern life has a way of rushing us onwards before we have truly had time to be present in the midst of it. Each thing we see and hear or experience fills our minds, and can overload our souls. We practice doing and not being, and some of us feel almost guilty if we are not being productive all the time. This year let's have a minute or more to just be, particularly with God and His Word, and I think we will be pleasantly surprised at how we are enriched by doing so.
