Be Still and Know….
Over the past week- it seems that life has been a bit overwhelming….so many changes have happened that I have found myself feeling a bit like a juggler in the circus. Last night I was washing dishes and started singing…..(yet again realizing that I am turning into my mother everyday more and more)….what was odd about this was that I was singing a song I had not heard in a long while- Be still and know that I am God. I do not know where it came from but I did realize it might have been some kind of subtle hint to myself- so I sat down- Bible in hand and begin to read in Psalms chapter 46- where this song came from- and just a couple of verses before - there was a verse that made me think I understood why- it might have been that we needed to be still and know…. In verse 8- it says- Come and see what the Lord has done, the amazing things He has done on earth….. WOW- did I understand. The past few years have brought some serious challenges and some difficult things that were beyond what I often though I could bare— but the Lord has never left me- He has stayed with me and I have felt His loving protection and care. And now I have had some amazing things happen recently- some blessings that are beyond my understanding…some gifts and peace that I cannot explain-and that I know I am not worthy to deserve…but in all the hoop-lah— I needed to be reminded to Be Still and know that He is God. I began right then and there to pray that I never forget- that He is always my protector and my strength- that He has been with me through the awful and the great. I am so blessed and so glad to be a child of His. So thankful for a reminder to Be still and Know.
