"BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."
When situations with friends are not what they should be ...
"BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."
When your work seems to be overwhelming ...
"BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD."
You would think I'd know this by now. I've been born and raised in church. And yet, here I am, trying to take control of everything ... every little thing ... in my life. Situations have arisen recently that I have no control over. When this happens, the verse "BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD" always drifts into my mind -- never as a direct order, but more like a gentle whisper, and yet do I always listen? No. Why is that?? Why is it that I think I have the answer to everything, when in reality ... I have nothing.
To this day, I can honestly say that I still haven't trusted God with everything. I'm dealing with stuff at this point in my life that I never, ever thought I would be dealing with. There's things that have been a certain way for such a long time, that I'm not willing to let them change; not willing to let go. But if I did, I know it would be for my own good. That's a shame because I'm cheating myself out of a deeper walk with Him. And you know, it should be simple. He is my Father. He loves me. I am His child. He always ... always ... has my best interest at heart. He loves me. He will NEVER lead me down the wrong path. He loves me.
I know that I'm not the only one who has issues concerning this. So, I'm asking this question ... Why do we do this?? As children of God, why do we sometimes have problems trusting Him?? Psalms 46:10 - "BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD" is my favorite scripture in the Bible. It speaks to me the most. Why can't we just sit back, take a deep breath, and know that everything is in control ... not in our control, but in HIS control.
"BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD".
