Still As.
/
What if my life is as boring as bat shit?
I hate bats. And apparently even their shit is boring, poor suckers.
My life is so boring that yesterday I tried to write a blog about rolling a gum nut down a hill. Because that was the most interesting part of my day.
Lord help me.
This morning I got so desperate for entertainment I Jiffed the sink.
The horror.
Do you know when it’s easy to trust God, to pray, to give it all to him? When you are hanging by a thread for your dear life from a cliff face. God and I are tight during the fearful, angsty, stress riddled days.
But what about those days when you start folding undies into origami or alphabetising your spices? Is God there? Do I care? Am I comfortable with the silence?
Is it enough to just be in his presence? Is he enough?
Am I so consumed with achieving things for him (wink, I got this God, you relax) that I forget to listen to him?
Can I stop asking myself challenging questions?
Sitting still. How dull. No filter on earth can make that Instagram worthy.
Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
“Be still, and know that I am God;”
But don’t you have something glorious for me to do?
“Be still, and know that I am God;”
Surely you have some great plan? A bold vision?
“Be still, and know that I am God;”
Don’t I need to be in a position of influence?
“Be still, and know that I am God;”
Don’t you have something for me to say?
“Be still, and know that I am God;”
Ok, Ok!... But what do I put on Facebook?!?!
Status update: “Like dried up bat dung on a footpath, so these are the days of my life.”
OK, back up.
“Be still, and know that I am God;”
Let’s take this verse seriously for a moment (Not a bad approach generally I’ve found). Read it again.
“Be still, and know that I am God;”
CRIKEY. I get to KNOW that you are GOD. Like know, like in my bones. I can know that I know that I know.
What a gift. How Badassical.
Check this. I am going to march boldly into my laundry RIGHT NOW and COLOUR CODE my towels. Do I have an AMEN?
Because I KNOW that you are GOD, and I can be as still as.
Fist pump.
