When I Stopped Running

 

I wanted to be still today,
But life got in my way.
It seemed as if there was no peace
To be found in my day.
 
I hurried here and hustled there
Without stopping to hear
The still, small voice for which I longed,
The wisdom I hold dear.
 
He waited until I slowed down
Enough to hear His voice,
And then He whispered quietly,
“I’m right here, child. Rejoice.”
 
I felt my heart fill with delight
As peace washed over me.
It took me all day, but, at last,
I’m where I want to be.
 
Job 22:22
Receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
