If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the past week, it’s valuing the quiet moments.
In the past, these moments never really seemed important to me – it’s quite hard for me to keep still in the first place, because I get so distracted all the time. I try my best to keep still, but it’s actually hard to clear my mind and just spend time with God.
Last week, a friend and I drove out of town and we decided to just put on some music and sit for a moment to clear our heads. Now this may sound weird, and at first it was kind of awkward, but to be honest it ended up being a great exercise. For a full two minutes, everything was still around me. Every problem, every issue I had, everything that had been bothering me, melted away. It was like magic.
It reminded me of the power of finding a quiet place and just being still. It completely blew my mind. And it reminded me of an important truth: In order to live a healthy life, we need to get still with God.
Sometimes there’s nothing better than switching off all distractions and getting real with yourself. Be still… you never know what will happen.
Godspeed.
