I was lucky enough to have a few spare moments between coming home from school (work) and getting ready to go to youth group at church last evening. I decided to enjoy a leisurely stroll through the park on a beautiful fall evening. Many times when I walk I am with someone else, or using my phone to stay in touch with a friend. Last night I decided to {be still}.... no company, no phone, just me and God. It was a BEAUTIFUL evening. I was enjoying the colors that early fall has to offer, enjoying the quiet that the evening was bringing, and appreciating the beauty that God has surrounded me with. It made me not only appreciate the beauty that He creates each morning with a new fall day; I was also able to appreciate my ability to know that I needed some quiet time with God.
I'm thankful today for wisdom and discernment. I know that I could use more and more of both of these attributes, but I am thankful for the amount that I do have. I felt refreshed and rejuvenated for my evening after I was able to bask in God's presence for a while. He is good! As I was walking, my head kept leaning towards a verse we all know so well, "Praise the Lord, my soul, and let all that is in me praise His Holy name!" I was so content!
