Today, I choose to be still


Isaiah 45:8


"You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the LORD, have created it."

I never could relate to the song lyric "Rainy days and Mondays always bring me down." In fact, for me, the only thing better than a rainy Monday is a rainy Sunday.  I love sitting by a window watching it rain on any day of the week, but I especially love doing this on a Sunday morning.

To be honest, I will miss going church to "be still" before God and reflect, pray and listen. And today is one of those days.  Now I know a lot of religious people would disagree with me for choosing private over corporate worship on a Sunday, and with no disrespect intended, this is my relationship with God.  He and I know what I need...so some rainy Sundays, like today, I can be found with The Good Book or a good book, a cup of something hot, and a window seat...just uh...soaking Him in.

I often think about how each of us relate to God, or better yet, how He built us to respond to Him, I know that I was built for rainy days. Some are built to connect with Him fishing. Some at the beach. Some in the mountains. And others only at church. But for me, there is just something about rain that resonates with my spirit.   So this morning, I am doing me and God, taking Him in through a cool January rain, praying, listening, and doing church by a window, with a cup of coffee, and His word.  This is our special time...if you have a special place or time to be still with Him, won't you comment it below?  You may help someone discover Him there as well!

Have a blessed Sunday everyone,

In Christ with love and compassion,

Coach Kelly
