It happens in the middle of an ordinary day, a busy week, or a stress-filled month. It can last mere moments or it can drag on seemingly forever. It's never planned and always surprising. And, sometimes, if I take advantage of it I can allow the full beauty of it to hold me still and silent enough to hear its music.
There are impostors to true lull, ones that prey upon our complacency and the things that give us ease. I don't like to be still too long and boredom is an unwelcome distraction that drones in the background of the hours I journey through in the day. But the kind of lull that actually nurtures and settles is like the soft humming of the Holy Spirit that soothes and steadies my spirit. His voice so calmly reminds me to be thankful, to surrender, and to rest.
My God, I love the sweet gentle song of Your Spirit that You sing over me. Thank You for Your Word that reminds me to pause and allow myself to be carried by You in the safest of embraces. May I always be aware of Your voice that faithfully tells me that I belong to You and nothing and no one could ever remove me from Your hands.
Glory
