wild animals

This was read one morning during our group devotional.  The simple word picture spoke loudly to me.  Be still, Erin....and know that I am God....


It comes the very moment you wake up each morning.  All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals.  And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in.  And so on, all day.  Standing back from your natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind.  CS Lewis
