Distractions

Distractions, Distractions, Distractions!

Will they ever end?

No, not here.

Everyday I am being pulled in a 1,000 different directions all at the same time.

Madison Avenue screams for my dollars. Facebook and Twitter are clamoring for my time. The TV and Radio are always willing and waiting for my attention. There's gas in the car and places to go! But then I look around at all the work that needs to be done -- weeding the flowers, feeding the children, and speeding to the store before they close. The phone is ringing, again. Another text message just arrived along with 12 more emails. There's homework, housework, and to be honest, more work that I can get to today, or even next week!

Then I remember His words, "Be still and know that I am God."*

Be still? What is that like? Every time I'm still, I fall asleep. I'm exhausted from the sheer pace of the never ending rat race.

Be still?

Be quiet?

Be silent?

Those items fled from my life long ago.

But wait.... He is still waiting for me.

The invitation is still good!!

There's no RSVP required!

When is it again?

NOW!

*Psalm 46.10
