Psalm 46:10
New International Version (NIV)
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.
Yes! everyone loves this verse! BE STILL! I tell you what I have been working since this morning and have really been going strong. Me and two and three year olds are not the best of friends. I LOVE CHILDREN! but if I had my choice it would not be the smaller ones. Yes, they all are Gods lovely creation, but more patience is required for these little ones. (If you have one you know what I am talking about) But I must say that they really blessed my hear this morning. Our kids take part in music every Wednesday morning and it is quite funny! They sing some very silly songs while learning their ABC's and numbers....ie: Little BB Bunny likes to bounce the basketball, and so on....:) Cute huh? Well this morning they sang a song that goes something like. Clap your hands if you love Jesus, Clap your hands if you love Jesus, Clap your hands if you love Jesus, Jesus sure loves you! So simple right? But really, when we are down...how easy is it to forget that Jesus loves us so much. Loves us beyond measure, loves us with a love that will never ever be taken away. He loves us when we are unlovable. He loves us with a love that has no limitations. He just LOVES!
Now for the Be still part! I had a moment to sit down now and just be still. I say now reading Psalm 96:10, be still and know that I am God. How often do we forget God? How often do we take time to spend with him? How often do we love on him? We have all heard the cliche stop and smell the roses. I hate that personally. I say, "STOP, be still and know that I am God." Take a minute, or what I like to say a chill pill and just relax and recognize our God for who he is!
Wow, I feel better! Yay, for reviving an old habit. Its going to be an exciting journey!
