Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. - Psalm 46:10 KJV

There are so many things moving in our lives that we often times don’t take the time to simply BE STILL. In my live recently, I have had tons of busy assignments that have kept me from the WRITE assignment. Or should I say, the RIGHT assignment.

For the last several months, I admittedly have felt overwhelmed with busyness. Have I been doing good things? Yes! Have I been serving in new capacities? Yes! Have I been walking through new doors? Yes! But even with all that, it’s been this constant feeling of being tired from ripping and running. It took me a while to realize that I have to get still in order to KNOW that God is with me in everything I do, even if everything I am doing is not fully in obedience to what He told me to do.

My new assignment this season falls under the umbrella of writing. If you look back at this blog, you will see that I wrote daily. But I didn’t just free write. I wrote after getting still, praying, and listening to the voice of God. The voice of YAH.

I am slowing realizing that without pausing and listening FIRST, everything else can distract me. You know the verse in Matthew 6 that speaks about seeking God first and His righteousness and everything else will be added unto me.? That’s Matthew 6:33.

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. - Matthew 6:33 KJV

I confess. I have been trying to be a mathematician. I have been trying to add things by doing things I think will add up.

PAUSE!

Let me write and repeat that again: I have been trying to add things by doing things I think will add up.

I’m pausing to let that thought sink in. Whoa!

I confess. I have been disobedient. I am supposed to be writing (like I am doing right now) and sharing what YAH gives me to share, but I have been trying to MAKE THINGS HAPPEN by doing what I think will work. It hasn’t worked and it took me a while to realize it. If I would just be obedient, everything I need will be added unto me. Period.

SHARING MY WRITINGS

In this section of the blog, I want to share what I heard and wrote in my journal when I paused and listened intently to the voice of YAH.

• Confess

• Repent

• Start Again

• Go Forth

• I AM the Redeemer of time.

• A day is but a 1000 years.
  

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Listening intently allowed me to hear the voice of YAH and get to these scriptures. Verse 9 is such encouragement to me! YAH is NOT SLACK concerning His promise, so stay encouraged and KNOW THAT!
