Be Still

“I have a friend whose whole life plan consists of keeping questions at bay. ‘Keep yourself surrounded by sound,’ Ed says, ‘always keep moving.’ When he’s driving, he keeps the radio on in his car. When he walks in the house (he lives alone), he turns on the stereo or the TV. He never allows himself to be alone with himself. Drumming fingers on the windowpane, it’s as if he senses a presence at the window. He doesn’t like to go out into the country. He avoids the mountains, the wind, the quiet fields; they make him nervous. He likes to keep busy. The strange thing about life in America: it often seems designed to block our questioning out. It’s so busy, it can rush us into death before we’ve ever had a chance to stop and think. We might never really stop to ask ‘why?’” - Michael Novak

In Proverbs 4:26, the Bible reminds us to, “Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.”

Let us take a moment today to just be still and ponder our path.
