JUNIOR HIGH YOUTHQUEST


Last night, the junior highs watched the 2010 version of the Karate Kid:
"Work causes a single mother to move to China with her young son; in his new home, the boy embraces kung fu, taught to him by a master."

One line that stuck out was, "Being still and doing nothing are two very different things."

Psalm 46:10a - Be still, and know that I am God...
The Israelites were given this command while in the middle of battle. How can we trust God even when life around us is waging war?

This season of lent may lend itself to practicing the presence of God in a variety of ways. It is certainly an opportunity to practice active stillness.
