You’ve seen time-lapse videos of the night sky here before, but this one is particularly beautiful and awe-inspiring – take the time to watch it in full-screen mode.

Randy Halverson shot the scenes in South Dakota, Utah, Colorado, and Wisconsin.  You have to get way out beyond the light pollution to see the stars this way!  The music was specially composed for the project by Bear McCreary, you can learn more about the video at Halverson’s website.

“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)

The Hebrew word for “Be still” literally means “let go of your grip.”

Cease striving at the level of human effort.

Be still and let go of your own understanding.
Be still and let go of your own human effort.
Be still and let go of your desire to control what others think of you.
Be still and let go of your need to control outcomes.

Be still.

Be still and be reminded that you are finite.  God is infinite.

Be still and let God be God in the most intimate places of your life which, in the end, is the only thing that will change anything.

This simple question posed by American pastor Robert Schuller may help inspire us to try to accomplish our goals. Taking fear out of the equation, what are your biggest dreams?

The question is similar to asking or considering what you would do if you only had a few months left to live. In its simplicity, the quote helps us focus on our priorities or tune into what we may most want in life.
