Begin with the Rocks
Begin with the Rocks
Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
Lord, helps us to order our days and to put You first. Teach us what we need to let go of in order to be still and know You. Help us to remember that everything else is just sand.It’s like the story of the rocks and sand. A person was given a jar along with a pile of rocks and a bag of sand. All of the rocks and all of the sand needed to fit in the jar. She started with the sand and it filled most of the jar. She could only fit a few rocks. But when she started with the rocks, the sand was able to fill the space around the rocks. Our time with God is the rocks. It needs to come first. The sand is everything else. It represents our responsibilities, our “to-dos.” When we begin our day with stillness, silence, and God, it all fits.
