Today I went fishing, unexpectedly.
Hustling aboard a boat, no time to reload coffee & creme into an almost empty mug, my skin prickled a shiver, even beneath three layers and a wool cap. I hadn’t intended to fish, and was merely loading boats–helping out in a fishing derby. Instead, a seat and invitation opened; I jumped in.
After a hello to our fishing guide and two girlfriends, I turned, lifting my gaze, upstream.
The river caught my pulse.
A forgotten prayer pattern erupted within me–my old friend, psalm 46:10a:
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
…
“Be still and know that I am.”
…
“Be still and know”
…
“Be still”
…
“Be”
Today, an unexpected fishing pulse catches me, still. Life is prayer. Simply, be.
I’m hooked.
ps: guess what’s for dinner?
What hooks your attention?
Please add your reply…
This is beautiful – divine. To be in a state of ‘be still’ is my personal quest.
Thanks for sharing!
