Be Still on this 11 11 11

Most men have trouble being still. Most of us are fixers and doers, and that makes it even harder to be still in order to listen.

Sing-songwriter, Ken Medema, who has been blind since birth, wrote these words:

Teach me to stop and listen,
Teach me to center down,
Teach me the use of silence,
Teach me where peace is found.

Teach me to hear YOUR calling,
Teach me to search Your Word.
Teach me to hear in silence,
Things I have never heard.

Teach me to be collected,
Teach me to be in tune,
Teach me to be directed,
Silence will end soon.

Then when it’s time for moving,
Grant that I might bring,
To every day and moment,
Peace from a silent spring.

Can you be still enough to allow God to speak to your heart? Maybe David struggled just like me and you. Maybe that is why he wrote: “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10
