The Sacred Pause

When we rush through a doorway, we miss what God is doing in the crossing. This summer, Melissa Kirsch of The New York Times talked about slack water, the brief pause in the tidal cycle when the tide has finished coming in and has not yet begun to pull back out. The wind may still blow, and the surface may still ripple, yet beneath it all, the current rests. Even when life stirs around us, we can find that rest within ourselves. In “The Sacred Pause,” Pastor Dries shows us through Psalm 46 that even though the waters roar, and the mountains shake, still God speaks: “Be still, and know that I am God.”
