Finding Peace in Stillness: Embracing God's Strength in Daily Life

Jane, a close friend from England, is on vacation. During her daily beach walks with her dog, Hettie, Jane gets refreshments. Today, she's sharing a special moment from her walk with Hettie, where she encounters Jesus.

I am fortunate to be visiting the Northumberland coast in the U.K. currently. During an early morning walk with my dog Hettie I took this photograph.

As I stood on the beach with no one else in sight I am reminded of what Gods creation can tell us. The beautiful sunrise above the still water and the expanse of the bay enable me to take in the stillness of Gods beauty. Often we are dashing around doing this and that and miss what peace there is in stillness and silence.

I encourage you as you look at the photograph to ponder the following Bible verses: Psalm 46:10, "Be still and know that I am God.", and Exodus 14:14, "The Lord will fight for you, you need only be still." As you go about your day remember the power of being still. God has got us.
