Too Long
by Marijo Phelps

Too Long
My child, it had been so long since you have come away to really rest in my arms and be renewed.

Is there a need? Do you see/sense an emptiness?

Do you hear me not, though I am ever present? Listen.

Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know the great I AM.
Come away my beloved and selah. (Pause and think calmly)
Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth." (NIV)

Exodus 15:26
He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you." (NIV)

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to learn (again) to be still and listen to You; all knowledge, wisdom of the ages, all love. I am sometimes empty and you are Fullness personified! AMEN
