He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Psalms 46:10

Written by Papama.

It is springtime in Cape Town right now. The beautiful flowers are blooming and the wind is fresh. But the world is moving so fast and we’re all so busy that we don’t take the time to slow down and enjoy the beauty around us. There is only one way to enjoy the beautiful flowers, and wonderful sunshine and that is to go slowly enough to actually see and feel them.

The same thing is true when it comes to growing and deepening our relationship with God. We have to go slow enough to look at Him, making it a priority to walk with Him and be in His presence. When we do, we always find that there is so much more to take in than we ever thought possible. May God increase our desire and give us the grace to slow down so we don’t miss out on the best view in all the world – God in His beauty and glory! He is waiting for us; now it’s our choice whether we will slow down or run right past.
