Be Still...

Be Still and Know that I am God

Often, in my own life, I have spent much of my prayer time asking God for answers and direction. Recently, I have had an experience wherein I found myself begging God for answers…I had moved beyond the polite and patient to a desperate cry. I was expecting a sign from Him that would be so unmistakable that the whole world would see the answer. Funny how things don’t normally happen the way we plan them. My answer came quietly, calmly…it washed over me in waves of peace. I did not get a talking, burning bush…and the sun didn’t stop its course for me…yet I knew what He was saying. Last night I was reflecting on the past weeks events, and really feel that I received a word from God. I have heard the verse, “Be still and know that I am God,” many times in the course of my life and depending on the pressing problem or situation, have interpreted its meaning differently…this time I feel that new light was shed.
Be Still and Know that I am God means have peace, my love, I am in control of your finances, your job, your children, your spouse, your dreams, your hearts desires, every facet of your life…after all…I am the One who made it all. We don’t need direct answers from Him about every situation…don’t get me wrong, if God had a cell phone..I’d be texting him constantly, but all we need to know is that He is God, and that He will bring about what He wants as long as we are willing.

Trust Him...know that He is God and rest confidently in His peace.
