In Him We Live
Perhaps we have never existed outside the Presence we have been trying so hard to find.
Acts 17:28 offers us a different way of seeing our relationship with God: “In Him we live and move and have our being.”
His nearness does not begin with our awareness of it. Perhaps encounter is less about finding our way into His Presence and more about awakening to the Presence in which we have always been held.
In Him we live. In Him we move. In Him we are.
Be Still
Perhaps “Be still” is not an invitation to try harder to become quiet.
Beneath these familiar words is the Hebrew raphah — to release, to loosen, to let go.
An invitation to unclench what we have been holding so tightly and discover that, beneath everything we cannot control, God is already here.
Release — and know.
