Dear Reader,
Since my last post, I obviously had a lot of time on my hands. Time, that I could have used to be super productive or super lazy. Having "free" time can be a good thing but also can turn out to be a bad thing. When you have free time, this is when the enemy likes to mess with you the most. This is where you have the opportunity to make a choice.
Do I work on this or that? Do I not work and just lay around relaxing, I mean, I do deserve it right? I normally don't have "me" time. These are just some of the things that have crossed my mind since I have been on my involuntary vacation.
Psalm 46:10 states: "Be still and know that I am God..." What does that even mean? Do I just do nothing all? NO definitely not. This verse has been with me for some time.
Be still, but God how am I supposed to take care of my family? BE STILL! How am I going to get out of this situation? BE STILL! The deadline is coming up and I have no way of...BE STILL, BE STILL, BE STILL!!!
You see being still doesn't mean to stay still. Being still means to trust in God. To know that whatever it is you are going through, you trust that He will see you through it. Being still means to not panic, to trust that God has the solution.
Being still is about TRUST!
We still should go and do what we can. You need an income, apply for work. You have a serious situation that needs solutions, ask for help. All while being at peace with your knowing that He is God and you will be alright.
I want to encourage you today. Be still...Be at peace...know that you know...He is God. He was with you for it, He will be with you during it, and He is there waiting for you after it.
Food for thought:
My son, do not forget my teaching but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you. Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart. So you will find favor and good success in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
I shared on Psalm 46:10 at a men's group. The video is uploaded to my youtube account.
