“A Picture Paints a Thousand Words”

In photography, a still image communicates meaning. Sometimes referred to as freeze frame, these images provide details that lead to greater insight. Use of space, body language, facial expression, and feelings become more evident, adding dimension to the subject matter. God uses stillness as a process providing clarity about who you are and who he is to you. The familiar statement

“A picture paints a thousand words” is truth and wisdom. Think of stilling a frame of your life like capturing a snapshot from God’s storyboard with your name as the title in big, bold letters. How might stilling this scene you’re currently living provide definition for the big picture? Like a photographer looking through a viewfinder, allow God to reframe what you are currently experiencing through the lens of Truth and being known by him.

What is the truth in your circumstance? What is God saying to you in the silence of preferred outcomes? What are you missing in the hurry for closure? How is God using uncertainty to shape your values about life, faith, family, relationships, work, and rest?
