Stand Still

"Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God" (Job 37:14).

Schedule some time for yourself to stand still
To consider the wonderful works of our God.
Give quality time, not just moments to kill,
Although this may seem just a little bit odd.

For our "things to do" lists will rarely allow
A break from "priority A" demands.
But when will you stop, unless you plan now,
To rightly consider the work of God's hands?

Day after day God continues to bless:
Praise Him and thank Him for daily provision!
Stand still for a while and halt busyness;
Plan it and make it a conscious decision.

Consider the seas, the land, and the sky:
Our God made them all, below and above.
Consider salvation, and ask yourself why
Our God has bestowed upon us such love!
