New Moon

Tonight is the night of the New Moon. My children sleep in a little later with the morning being darker. It has been that way now this week. I like the new moon for the quiet morning start is a slow pace. Light makes such a difference in our lives. To most being in the dark is a hard thing. I suppose to me it is as well. I am in the dark over my future with the house sell and all. I am selling a house , in the worlds eyes at the worst possible time. Yet I found a calm in the dark as well. My eyes do not have to have everything illuminated. All the world is a glow with illumination, energy's burn hot on this planet. You can see images from space that are so profound. The continents are bright in the night. In the U.S.A. it is so bright on the East coast at night that it is as day at all hours. No rest to be found. With the New Moon there is a rest in the universe well at least on this side of the moon. Our world has learned however to never rest. Never be still in the darkness. I like resting in the dark. At therapy I love it when I'm all hooked up to the electrodes and my back is heat soaked as well as my neck. They turn the lights off and close the door behind them. I am still. I can think clearly or not at all for those few moments . Our world does not allow for this for the inhabitants to stop, think and or just be still.
I have read..."Be still and know that I am God."
How can the world know him when they can never just Stop and be Still.This is a great ploy I believe by the enemy of our hearts. When we don't know the future or see the path past our next foot fall it is in being still and knowing that GOD IS GOD, and GOD is for us not against us. If we place our LOVE ON HIM then we can learn to trust. Trust in the quiet, those dark days when we just can't or don't understand. We Can be STILL and KNOW that He is GOD.
It is a New Moon, when all is calm and all is quiet...we can not see but just trust that we can be refreshed in the quiet.
Come to the quiet, come and still your soul like a child asleep on his fathers knee...come and still your soul...completely. Come to the quiet.
