Being Still

The bible tells us to be still in the midst of a war or storms of life. This is how I choose to describe it.

Being Still (Ps 46:10)

In timeless stills
And countless spills
I poured my heart to Him who wills
In silent chills
At vacant tills
I turned my eyes to Him who fills

In solitude
Yielding fortitude 
I press towards my altitude 
In gratitude 
Of attitude 
I give my thanks O Lord to you.

In confidence
Of His covenant 
I dwell upon his countenance 
It's sustenance 
For my maintenance 
The Word of God is so relevant 

In silent praise
I seek His face
And bask in His amazing grace
In passing days
Of varying phase
I stand on what the sure Word says

I stand in awe
At the open door
Of love so endless and oh so pure
There is no law
That is so sure
Than what Our Saviour did that hour

i think a little more spirituality might bring more love to this planet...there is not enough now...too much hate and violence---and it is getting worse every day---the occurrences fill the screen, the papers..and there is so much unease, unrest...

very well expressed here.

What the world needs now is the force of love - the sweet energy that makes the world go round. If only we can be still and be real with what we need.

Everything you said is spot on. Thank you.
