Be Still And Know

Psalm 46:10

"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.

"Anxious soul? How often we get ourselves into a tizzy over things and then become anxious over things that we just have no control over, no matter how we worry or how anxious we may become if it is what God wants to do within our lives it will happen, and it will happen His way.

When I get anxious over something, its not too long now until I hear that small still voice saying….“Be still, and know that I am God;” So I stop and take a breath and then remember, He will do what He has to do and He will do what is good for me in my life. I just need to stop running ahead of Him in the energy of the flesh, to submit to Him, to slow down and trust Him and His love…

He will show me what He is doing and why, and when He is going to do it, I just need to trust.

John 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.”

Those words really spoke to me today, until I really embrace those words I will keep trying to do things that only my God can do, like blessing myself, promoting my own ministry, solving my own problems, and even answering my own prayers, because I think He is too busy to be bothered with me.. How often have any of us prayed and then set about trying to answer that prayer ourselves, because we did not learn patience?

Jesus said He is the vine and we are the branches…all we need to do is stay connected and love and trust.

Thank You Lord for that lesson today.

In His Love
