Time standing still

Have you ever experienced moments of time standing still?  The birth of a child is the first thing I think of.  One minute you’re in a room with two people, then miraculously there’s three in the room.


Time is in God’s Hands.  None of us can make time pass any quicker or slow it down.  If you’re a parent or a caregiver of a child, you know that they grow up in an instant.  You’re changing their diapers and then before you know it, you’re watching them graduate high school. 


Just as God made time stand still in Joshua 10:13, He controls our next breath. 

We may not understand how God made the sun stand still, but we can know that if it’s God’s will, then whatever the circumstance, God will perform the miracle. He will answer the prayer. He will provide the way.


I relish days where I can just take the time and slow down.  I love reading God’s word and sit quietly.


Take time today to listen for God.  Take time today to give someone a hug.  Take time today to listen to someone’s story. Take the time to love today.


Joshua 10:13 - "And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies.  Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stopped in the midst of heaven and did not hurry to set for about a whole day."
