With You

Ever have those moments where you just become caught up with the million things you have to do and sometimes you either forget to relax or don't have time? I'm sure we have those moments. Today is one of the days that I come to my Nino's to help my cousins with school. I'm here if they need help with work or have technical issues.

I helped my cousin, Caleb, because he was doing some math problems and needed help. After I was done helping Caleb, I went to the kitchen and went to go with my grandma because she was in the living room with Miah. She had told me that Miah had looked tired and then proceeded to tell her that she should be going to bed early. Miah ended up going back to her room where she does school and turned in her science assignment. Miah came back to the living room, and my grandma had told her to lay here…close her eyes and RELAX. Miah told my grandma that she didn't want to sleep because she had school and wasn't tired. My grandma told her, "I know, but close your eyes and relax, and if you fall asleep, I'll be here to wake you, just relax."

As I watched, I knew that God was showing me something. God is exactly like that with us. He sits beside us and takes care of us. He comforts us with his words and never leaves our side until he knows that we are okay. God reminds us to relax. He allows us to rest when we become tired. He takes us into his hands and watches over us.

Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still and know that he is God."

When we become stressed and overwhelmed or just too caught up with life, we hardly have a break…God calls you to meet him in a place where you can bask in his stillness and recharge yourself. God is with you in the middle of everything. He is WITH YOU in the stillness.
