Decisions

I have always heard the phrase "Be still" in reference to God in church. Be still? How can I be still. I have work, school, friends, family-I am a multitasker after all. Over the last couple of weeks a new word has been infused into any bible study, devo, book I attend or read. ABIDE. I love this word. Why? Because it implies choice. You have to decide to abide. The more I think about it the more it seems it should be the only way to go: I want to do it for the rest of my life: abide in the comfort of God's arms, the warmth of His spirit, the calm of His presence. Being still to me requires no effort, no decision, no choice. I hope to choose to dwell in the presence of God all of my days.
