Be Still!

 

Be Still!

A forgotten piece of folded paper slipped out from a book I bumped aside to put another book away. The folded paper flew out around me and I was grabbing at it nearly knocking other things over. And later I thought, that’s a fine and surprising way to get my attention Lord!

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10 NIV

Sometimes God will get our attention and nudge us to take heed. In those moments when we are called by the Spirit to pause, be still, to take notice― its God and has something He wants to say to us!

 

He speaks to us through His Word, His creation, through the words of other believers and in many other delightful ways, even by slips of forgotten poems falling out of books. I pray these words enlighten and encourage you today too.

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD
God, what does it mean to be still and know You are God?
My child, what I mean is:
Though the earth be removed,
Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled,
Though the mountains shake with swelling,
Though the wind blow, Though the storms rage;
IN OTHER WORDS:
Though your bills are due,
Though they give you a hard time on your job,
Though your husband won't act right,
Though your wife won't act right,
Though your children are disobedient,
Though there's sickness in your body,

Though your enemies get on your NERVES;
Stop your WORRYING!
Stop your COMPLAINING!
Stop your DOUBTING!
Stop your FROWNING!
Cease your fears, and dry up those tears!
For I'm right here to comfort you,
I'm right here to guide you,
I'm right here to hold you up,
I'm right here to heal you,
I'm right here to deliver you.
So cast your cares upon me for I care for you.

My child this is what I mean by being still
And knowing I AM GOD.” ~Author Unknown~
