Stop The World And Let Me Off. 5/16/13

Good Morning,

Drinking some Door County Cherry Creme Coffee to start my day.

Does it seem to you that the world spins faster and there just isn't enough time in a day to keep up with life? I have declared today as stop the world day! Now how can I do that? I really can't control the speed of any other life but my own. I am not advocating for a sit down or strike. But my plan sometime today is to sit, be still, pray and read my Bible slowing down                                                                     enough to hear from God and wind down.

1 Kings 19:11-13   God’s Revelation to Elijah

¹¹ Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; ¹² and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

I can only imagine that if I were with Elijah when this took place I am sure I would not have been wondering about getting to the dry cleaners on time, mowing the grass, or paying the bills. For a short time I would have been concentrated on God and in a way that the world would have been stopped for awhile.

So my plan today is to take that time find a quiet place and let God stop the world for just a little while so I can enjoy Him!

Want to have a great day? Just let God stop it for an hour or two!
Love ya!
Marty
