Be Still and Know I Am God



"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."  (Psalm 46:10)

In the complex world we live in, many things compete for our attention.  This world has changed enormously since the words of this Psalm were written.  Yet, the timeless truth expressed here is critical to the well-being of your soul.   As the dew refreshes the grass in the quiet of early morning, so the presence of God restores our soul as we sit quietly with Him.

For those of us living in the Northern Hemisphere, it is winter; a time of snow and ice.  Driving on the
highway becomes a dangerous exercise that requires experience and the proper equipment.  When we were still living in Alaska, the use of chains and studs on our tires became imperative, otherwise we might not arrive at our destination safely. Because of the extremely low temperatures, even sitting at street intersections would cause a buildup of ice under the car’s exhaust pipe, and make gaining traction for the next vehicle a problem when the traffic control light turned green.  

Like the spinning wheels of a car stuck on ice, our minds spin helplessly when focused on trivial things.  With our minds refreshed, we are able to sort out what is important and what is not.  As soon as you begin to communicate with God, your thoughts gain traction and your thinking can begin to move forward. 

If we communicate with God continually, He will put His thoughts in our minds.  

"For God is not the author of confusion but of peace..."  (1 Corinthians 14:33)
