Season 4 Episode 20
“Be still, and know that I am God;” - from Psalm 46
Generally speaking, I emphasize how important it is for us to get up and get after it in life. That we are called to be active participants in facilitating what Jesus described as the Kingdom of God- a world where kindness and compassion reign supreme, human dignity is honored, and the least of these are cared for.
What I sometimes under emphasize is how important it is for us to rest, to pause, to center ourselves or perhaps more accurately to allow ourselves to be centered. Notice how many times in between the Gospel stories we repeat, Jesus took time for himself, by himself.
While we do experience God in loving relationships and in healthy community, we also experience God when we wait, watch, listen, and feel. As Elijah discovered, we hear God in the gentle whisper. (1 Kings 19:11-13) We have to quiet ourselves to hear it.
