It’s so easy to be consumed.

On the urgent, on the loud, on what looks like a need.

To have our thoughts spread out over so many different little fires.

We’re stressed out, overwhelmed, breathing hard, just trying to stay in the game.

And if truth be told, when we’re spread out like this, we’re probably not being super effective at any of it.

But it can be easier.

Tell your mind to stay awhile. To turn and face the One who sees and knows, to stay and rest.

Every moment, every day, I have to choose to step into this.

It’s an act of my will. To tell myself to stop, to breathe, to look up.

Over and over, I turn.

Because it’s so easy to get consumed.

If you’re feeling this today, or tomorrow, the One who made you says He’ll keep you in perfect peace when your mind is stayed on Him, because it shows that you trust Him.
