Dear fellow travellers through this life-journey, for us in Australia, mid-summer, another Christmas has been accomplished. Now that Christmas here on this hot day in Australia is almost over, it’s time to be still and reflect…
Be Still
Exhausted, yet restless to advance
Ever onward in a trance,
A weary traveller
Refused to look around
So lost the intimate beauties which could be found.
Be still,
And know God the eternal creator.
Furtive, frustrated, fraught we flee,
When confusion bears down on thee,
A weary traveller.
Failure looms, chaos glooms,
In life, this lonely room.
Be still,
And wing your eyes
To soar above the clutter.
Marvel at the vastness of creation
Where God lies.
If what we infinitely fear
Will produce a lonely tear,
Of a weary traveller,
We blind ourselves with sorrows
Clinging to illusions of good morrows.
Be still,
Capture destiny in your heart,
For God said, “Let it be”.
See the beauty of its part.
Learn from what it has to offer
Ignore the scoffer.
A weary traveller did relent,
When Jesus was sent.
Be still,
While He,
Our hungry souls will fill.
