"Be still, and know that I am God.." Psalms 46:10
I have probably heard and read this verse a million times, and I have always looked at it the same way: Translation- Stop what you are doing (right now) and focus on God.
Yes, that is true, but....whatever happens in that moment, that time we focus on Him, needs to be applied to our lives, not just to that, "okay guys, spend 10 minutes right now and just think about who God is" That 10 minutes means NOTHING if we are not LIVING like we know who God is. Are we living each day KNOWING that He is God?
Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.
Deuteronomy 10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.
Deuteronomy 33:27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, 'Destroy him!'
(just to name a few) I could go on and on!!!!
When He is perfect, why do we question how He works?
When He is faithful, why do we complain that He is taking too long?
When He is our refuge, why do we look for people to satisfy us?
Dont just think about who God is. Believe it, and KNOW it, because if we say we know it, and our actions do not reflect it, we don't really know who God is. Our actions reflect what we believe. When it says "Be still..." I think of physically being still. And i am all for that too! But, that "Be still..."also means stop with the questions, stop putting God off, and SETTLE DOWN!
Live like you Know it.
