Be Still

There’s nothing quite like having half a verse memorized is there? I was reading in Psalms one morning this week and came across a familiar scripture. Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God…” Great songs and poems have been written on those words, but it’s not the whole thought. The verse goes on to say, “I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

One whole thought; be still and know that I care about every person and nation on the planet. I got it under control. There are a lot of people out there that are concerned that things are spinning out of control in our country. In our own county, I’ve spoken to local builders, bankers, construction workers, and others who are making less money than they were a year ago, have less than they used to, or have lost jobs completely. Be still.

Being still reminds us that God is in charge, that He cares about us, but it should also remind us that God has the whole world in His hands, not just yours.

He’s a great big God, and no matter what is happening in your life today, He’s got you…Be Still.
