My mind feels like a washing machine overloaded with clothes on the high spin cycle.
I have been pondering many things, but can put words to very few of them.
This morning, I awoke with Psalm 46:10 (NIV) swirling in the midst of all the other and it calmed my heart. So, today I offer it to you for our weekly When Words Won’t Come post.
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Allow me to personalize it a bit…..for me….and for you.
Be still and know…..that God is in control and knows the plan.
Be still and know…..that God knows your anxieties.
Be still and know….that God is never anxious.
Be still and know…that if you seek God, you will find Him.
Be still and know….that He was not taken by surprise with the diagnosis the doctor gave.
Be still and know…..that the US political system does not cause God one moment of angst.
Be still and know….that God knows all about your financial trouble
Be still and know….that God will walk with us into old age.
Be still and know….that just because things don’t turn out the way you thought they would does not mean all is lost.
Be still and know…that when He wants you to walk in a new direction, you will be the first to know about it.
Be still and know….that God is trustworthy and faithful.
Be still and know….that He has your back.
Be still and know….that He sings over you and delights in you…..YES, YOU!!!
Be still and know…..that He has a plan for you.
Be still and know….that He is enough for whatever you are going through.
Be still and know…that NOTHING is too hard for God.
When we fix our focus on God, we can find peace and calm, and yes, even contentment in the midst of our days. I have and so will you.
