You do it every morning,
even if you don't feel like it,
because you know you need to do it every morning~
BRUSH YOUR TEETH!
And if you didn't do it,
it would not be a good thing,
for you and others who will come in contact with you.
But then there is something else
that you need to do
every morning,
because if you didn't do it,
it would not be a good thing,
for you and others who will come in contact with you.
And there HE IS.
HE sees you.
And HE patiently WAITS.
HE is so eager for you to see HIM
because HE has so much to say and give to you,
but
because HE is so gracious
and has given you free will
HE lets you do what you are doing
even though HE so wants to get your attention.
But HE KNOWS that you KNOW,
but for some reason you are ignoring HIM
because you know HE will always be there,
and you can always meet up with HIM
when the time is right.
But for right now,
now isn't the time.
So instead you go through your day
giving your time to
anxiety, worry, and despair
so that
frustration and bitterness is invited to the party.
You are wondering why your day is getting harder,
yet you have no time to stop,
even though you are gently nudged
as you hear the soft reminder
"BE STILL & KNOW".
Oh you KNOW,
but right now
STILLNESS has to wait
because you have too much to do.
But the gift of
STILLNESS
still
waits & waits & waits ,
until you
get ready for bed,
and do what you did the first thing
that you did when you woke up~
BRUSH YOUR TEETH.
So then go into your bed
with your friends
anxiety, worry, and despair,
and
make room for frustration and bitterness.
You then close your eyes,
wondering why you can't sleep.
And then you hear the words again
"BE STILL & KNOW"
and there HE IS.
HE STILL wants to be with you
because HE always wants to be with you
because HE is always available.
So you look up
and everything changes
as STILLNESS fills your soul
because
GOD was waiting
for you
to just look up.
And before you know you it
anxiety, worry, despair,
frustration & bitterness
are replaced
with
a PEACE that you can't explain,
and
a HOPE that is like a wide open field of daisies,
and
a JOY that is way better than just happy,
because
you experience
a LOVE that never ceases
because
LOVE
waits & waits & waits
to envelope you
because it is
so
patient & kind & gentle,
asking no questions,
because it is so filled with
A GRACE
that gently rocks you to sleep.
Because you took the time,
that only took a moment to
LOOK UP to the ONE
who is always waiting for you
to be STILL
so HE can be STILL with you.
So you buy a new toothbrush
with
GOD'S NAME written on it,
for when you wake up the next morning
to do what you do every morning~
BRUSH YOUR TEETH,
you let out a chuckle
as you pick up your toothbrush
and read the gentle reminder
to BE STILL & KNOW.
And because you now KNOW,
you take time right
then and there
to
BE STILL & KNOW
and do it
NOW
and
LOOK UP
because you
KNOW that being STILL with HIM is the
only way to have a
"GOOD MORNING"*
that will seep into your whole day.
