Be still and know..

There was no wind blowing when I stood on the balcony this morning. Everything was quiet! The view towards the mountain was crisp and clear. I did not hear a thing. It was like the whole city and nature was pausing, waiting. The I remembered the bit I read earlier this week;

He says, "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

And in that moment I wished that I was on that mountain, just me and God, looking out over the city, spending time with Him.

I am too busy, I rush from home to work and back, keeping myself busy, not really making time to be quiet. Thinking about it, the only time I can really get quiet and spend time with God, is when I am in nature. So what am I to do?

So how can I be still with noise around me? Sometimes I just crave a little bit of quietness in a rushed day, and God says "Be still, and know that I am God". 

It just struck me, He did not say "seek silence", He said "be still", meaning, in the rush, and the noise, and the clatter, become still, and acknowledge God, speak to Him and listen to Him. Like I described here A sign ... and for those special times, get to nature, make time to become quiet in nature and wait on Him.
