Stillness

Stillness. The word "stillness" actually means a deep silence, calm or it's a state where nothings moves or make sound.

Based on what I observed, now a days, a lot of people are busy, some are stressed by school works, tests, and other problems. You can relate that people don't have much time to relax and refresh their mind. 

For example in Springfield, a lot of students would say that they're stressed out by homework and tests and they don't have much time to relax, every day they're filled with things that are need to be done and because of that they don't have much time to relax and be in a state where they can have a quiet time, because of that many of us would not be able to communicate much with God and talk to God.

The first thing we need to do is fix — believe that God is already speaking and start listening. However, that takes time, effort, and focus. For instance, what is your typical answer to the question, "How are you?" Many of you probably answer something about being very busy. All of us seem to be busier than ever, and that's one of the BIG reasonns we don't hear the voice of the Lord better. We're just too busy.

Psalm 46:10 says,"Be still, and know that I am God."

Aloneness and self-criticism, those are the two things that scare us most about stillness, and because of that, we keep ourselves busy by doing endless amount of things.

But it's in stillness, not busyness, that we tune our spiritual ears to hear the voice of God. The Lord always speaks to us in that "STILL, small voice" (1 Kings 19:12), but often it's drowned out amid all the turmoil of our daily lives.

Just remember that God is available to all of us, each one of us just need to give ourselves space for quiet, to communicate with God, just spend some quiet time to talk to him, to commit your mistakes, to thank him for everything that he did.
