Life gets busy. We are a busy people. This morning the Lord reminded me to just be still and trust Him. It reminded me of when I lived in another town for a short time. I would listen for the peepers at night. I must admit, I had never heard them before.
Last evening a friend called and she had mentioned about hearing the peepers. I thought once again about my time in this little town. Oh, how I miss the peepers.
Today, let’s thank God we can trust Him. He has our lives in His hands. Let’s be still and listen to the small things in life. We may not hear the peepers, but we may hear a baby’s laugh, a child’s song or share in a friends tears.
No matter what our day brings, let’s always take time to listen.
Father, thank you for the peepers. Thank you for the reminder you have our lives in your hands. Forgive us God for filling our days with too much busyness that we don’t hear the small things in life, such as the peepers.
Thank You Lord that You have a purpose, a plan and a destiny for every life. Help us to slow down today and listen (really listen). People are so important to you. Some are losing hope today, some are feeling defeated today and some don’t even know you. God help us to hear them.
Father, give us hearts so big that there’s even room for the peepers. Thank you for the stillness of Your presence. Thank you for peace. Thank you for the river. Many many pause today and listen, really listen.
Be still, and know that I am God;I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10
