Be Still

Psalms 46:10 - Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! What a wonderful promise God gives to us when we are in places where our strength and abilities cannot make the difference. This scripture in no way tells us to have a i-dont-care attitude. It does tell us that we must have faith in God and allowing God to make the difference. Some things demand that we allow God to exert His wisdom and we cease from anxious activity and leave the matter in God's hands. We will then see a work that only God can affect. When we leave these overwhelming matters in God's hands it soothes our restless spirit and brings a peace that defies understanding instead of our anxiety. Our heart is encouraged to know that God is at work and His hands accomplish the impossible. Put yourself at the feet of our Lord and Master and trust Him to work. Is there a situation with work, home, son/daughter/spouse? Some things only God can fix. Put yourself at Christ's feet and trust Him today. One evidence of your trust will be your willingness to sit still and let Him have His way. Ask Him today to take your heavy burndens and He will do it. Walter Rose Pastor
