Be still, and know that I am God.
-- Psalm 46:10
One of the implications here appears to be that there is an integral link between our ability to know God and our willingness to be still. Is it conversely true, that there is a part of knowing God that cannot happen unless we are willing to stop? ...to stop our rushing around, our clamoring, our grasping for things, our busyness that we use to keep us from embracing the ache within us.
Perhaps it is our being still that affords us the opportunity for our ache to take us somewhere truly satisfying, rather than simply continuing to chase all the activity that essentially only numbs us.
