"Still"

Two weeks ago, one of the closing songs touched my heart and I want to share it with you.
Still
Words and music by Reuben Morgan
Verse 1
Hide me now under your wings.
Cover me within your mighty hand.
Verse 2
Find rest my soul in Christ alone.
Know His power in quietness and trust.
Chorus
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm.
Father You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God.

I will be still and know that You are God.

Being Still in South Mountain







About a month ago, Harlan & I spent a week in Phoenix, AZ with our son, Jared. There were a lot of fun times during our week there but one of my favorites was our time spent hiking in South Mountain. Two mornings that we, we dropped Jared off at work and headed to the mountain for geocaching/hiking. I loved everything about it...the exercise, the scenery, the weather and the person I was with.

Although Harlan and I were together, he was usually several feet ahead of me. This newly diagnosed heart condition leaves me a little more breathless. During my time alone, it gave me a chance to talk with God ("Lord, please help me make it up this mountain!" °Ü° )

It was a great time to reflect on everything He has so graciously given to me.....to us all! We just need to take the time to read of His promises, His love for us and enjoy our surroundings. So, for a minute or two, look at the views of and from South Mountain and listen to God's voice speaking to you. It's also a great opportunity to thank Him for all the blessings we've been given. Amen? Amen!
