Hebrews 2:5-9 | What am I going to do about it?

A Moment of Silence

    10      Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth!
-Psalm 46:10
In our Young Adults Group, we have been studying through the spiritual disciplines. One of those disciplines is solitude and silence. It is a practice that we rarely get the opportunity to take in our busy world. There are far too many things competing for our attention, and we have idolized productivity so much that we actually don't view sitting and waiting upon the Lord as a good use of our time. With that, we miss out on some incredible spiritual moments. We also lose the ability to stand in awe and be amazed.

In light of the considerations through Hebrews 2:5-9, I return to this discipline once again. Devices get shut off and placed in a different room. Chores can wait. Meetings will eventually happen. God can give the grace for me to get done with those things that need to get done. I do not need to have the heavy weight of the world upon my shoulders. Instead I can simply be present with Him and wait upon Him.
31      But those who wait on the LORD
    Shall renew their strength;
    They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
    They shall run and not be weary,
    They shall walk and not faint.
-Isaiah 40:31
Are you able to sit and be amazed with the Lord? I encourage you to give yourself that space and time in solitude simply to be in awe of Him. If you do not find it as a good use of your time, reanalyze your priorities. If you are simply too busy to spend this time with the Lord, then you are simply too busy. Learn to say no to the things of this world that you may learn to say yes to the Lord and the time you can spend with Him. If you do not know how, you will not know until you being. Sit in silence and turn your mind upon Him. Don't let the cares and affairs of this life distract you from the beauty of being alone with Him. Consider the works of His hands. Get lost in the thoughts of His creation. Recognize His power and might. Humbly recognize your state before Him and rejoice in the work of Jesus that you would be welcomed into His plan.
