"Be still - I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details." Albert Einstein
When I read this quote the other day I just sat back in my chair and took several long deep breaths with my eyes closed hoping I would hear God say something to me. And I did not hear or perceive anything, just silence. I think I was still trying to get the details.
Big picture, visual learners, movers and shakers, give me the bottom line, answer me the why and how, forward thinking not in the box, kind of people operate on a different wave length. You know them and they are different, but different is not always better or more efficient. I know some "different" people that I think are just plain nuts, certifiable crazy, lazy, goober headed, ozone zombies. They have it in their heads that if they "think" way out there and their "box" has no parameters then they are super creative and beyond everyone; all their actions no matter good or bad are acceptable because they are "different". What they don't realize is that they are the people that real listeners, or those that are hearing God's thoughts are the real visionaries, box spreading, line jumping, rope skipping geniuses.
A God thought is so big, so revolutionary so life changing that you have to do some real life prep before you can hear His stuff. First thing is to be still, in fact this is a God quote, "Be still and know that I am God." I am working on that first line of instruction... be still. OK, lean back, 3 long deep breaths, close eyes gently, calm, relax................ shoulders down, neck at ease, hands limp, wow that feels good. Did I hear anything, did you hear anything, get any God thoughts? I am learning to listen for the thoughts because I know that He has the details already figured into the plan and the plan he has for me is for my success.
Be still, hear a thought, work through the details and see God's plan. We could be on to something here. What do you think?
