Play with God

At this time, I have heard from several parents who say they have noticed how their children have been very happy and settled over the past few weeks and have been enjoying more attention from their parents.  One mum said to me that her 2 year old was wandering around the house singing almost all day long!!  Maybe some parents have had more time to PLAY with their children too.   Maybe they have had more time to just hang out with their kids without the normal distractions, after school activities and events that fill our lives.  Just to BE.

While I acknowledge this may not be the case in all homes, it led me to wonder, what God’s invitation to me was in this. 

Psalm 131 v2 (TPT)

“I am humbled and quieted in your presence.  Like a contented child who rests on its mother’s lap.  I’m your resting child and my soul is content in you.”

What does it look like for me to be like a child, resting in the lap of Jesus?  What does it look like for me to PLAY with Jesus?  Not to have any agenda, no list of things to talk about, but just to hang out, laugh and just to BE. 

V3 goes on to say, “O people of God, your time has come to quietly trust, waiting upon the Lord now and forever”. 

I would like to replace my name in this verse, maybe you would too.  “Rachel, your time has come to quietly trust, waiting up the Lord, now and forever”.

There are many things that can run helter-skelter though our minds at this time, but I choose to just BE.

Be still and know that I am God.

Be still and know that I am.

Be still and know.

Be still.

Be.
