Let's Get It (7/7): Pause and Discover the Power of Stillness #SlowDownSunday
Manage episode 482057095 series 3638359
Have you ever noticed how the grandest forces in the universe—stars burning with cosmic energy, galaxies stretching across vast expanses, even the Earth spinning faithfully day after day—move with deliberate slowness?
Nature offers us a profound lesson that power doesn't require rushing.
On this Slow Down Sunday, Dr. Derek Suite explores the revolutionary act of intentional pause in our hyper-accelerated world.
"When was the last time you paused? Not because you were forced to, but because your soul needed to?" This question invites us into the ancient wisdom captured in Psalm 46: "Be still and know that I am God."
Here we discover that stillness isn't weakness—it's the birthplace of revelation, the meeting place of clarity and surrender, where striving fades and trust emerges.
Like the moon that doesn't fight yet powerfully influences the tides through its very nature, we too can move with grace rather than constant exertion.
The quiet, consistent forces often create the most lasting impact. What would it look like to reclaim stillness today? To unplug completely, sit in genuine silence without distractions, walk without headphones, or journal your unfiltered thoughts?
These practices aren't just about rest—they're preparation for what comes next. They fill our tanks so we can show up with purpose for Making Moves Monday.
Take time today for your spiritual reset. Find even five minutes to slow down intentionally. The stars will continue their unhurried journey across the heavens, and you can join their rhythmic dance—moving slowly, deliberately, purposefully, and intentionally.
Your soul will thank you, and tomorrow's challenges will meet a more centered, grounded version of you.
