A pause for Lent: Be still

I picked up this beautiful colouring in Calendar from the Bible Society which they had a pile of at church.  Probably for children but since they were sitting there and it was the start of March, I decided to take one.

My opinion generally on the Adult colouring in book craze is that yes, I love colouring in, but generally, I prefer to be colouring in my own drawings.  I started one of the colouring books which I picked up in Poundland, but failed to gain any urge to return to it.

This afternoon, however, after using my watercolour pencils to colour in a card for my Mum's forthcoming birthday, I saw the calendar and thought I'd have a go at colouring in April's quote whilst I sat in the garden.

And how appropriate it was!

"Be still and know that I am God,"

Stopping, knowing that God is who he says he is and marvelling, delighting and being grateful of that fact is very important and something that we all need. 

It's when we stop, that the answers, healing, contentment come.

One of my favourite songs is 'Be still for the presence of the Lord'.

When I was a new adult Christian, I started writing my own worship song called 'Be still.'  Somehow, I have never finished the accompaniment for it, or shared it with anyone though I wrote the words and melody for 3 verses.  Perhaps, this is something to look for and complete this Easter tide?
