“Be still and know I am God I will be
exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10
God recently laid this verse on my heart; well actually it
felt more like a Gibbs on the back of the head. I had been so busy with feeling
over whelmed by my life not going the way I thought it would go.
In the past seven years I have been through a lot and had a
little faith. I know others had rough times. During those years I lost a husband,
an aunt, and others to cancer and other things. I lost I lost my house, my car
and was laid off. I also had relatives going through cancer treatments and other
things. I went through a bout of depression and anxiety.
Since I was laid off, I was helping take my Grandpa to the
doctors. He will be ninety in April. I went to Visit him one day, he was laying
on the couch, so tired and his legs hurting, I have never seen him like this
even when he was going through chemo. He was told he needed a pace maker. I
took him to the doctors several times since my mom and uncle worked and his
girlfriend is going through chemo treatments. I was not happy with all this
news as you can imagine.
I got in my car to go home after taking him to the doctors. I
was pulling out the parking space in front of his house when I heard “Be Still
and know I am God.”
I was so caught up in my worry about everything that I forgot
that God has a plan and can handle it. He has shown me that all the time and I didn’t
see it. Whether I didn’t see or choose not see it is not the question but the
question was what do I need to do about. I drove home praising and thanking God
for everything he has done, is doing and will do.
I just needed to be still, let go and Let God handle it….he
has got this. He can handle it all. I had to pray that everything will work out
because has a plan and it will be done in his time and his way.
I posed this question to my Facebook friends;
What does
this verse from Psalms "Be still and know that I am God" mean to you?
To me it means that I need to be open to what God is doing in
my life and have faith that he got this, he can handle it. It also reminds to
take everything to God in prayer and meditate on his words.
I prayed
that night about giving everything to him. I put all my faith in him. I am more
at ease with things, I found a job and all who I prayed for are doing well. Pap
is doing well with the pacemaker.
To some of
my friends and family it means
To me, it means that He is in control--"Relax, it's all
good, He's got this"... And He IS in control!
We are so busy listening to the world that we miss what God
wants us to hear from Him. We allow the noise of the world to drown out God's
voice that can come in the form of a song, a friend's words, a voice in our
heads, etc...all we have to do is listen...
Trust God, believe in him. count on him.
To me it means to stop freaking out and relax. I am not in
control, God is.
To me it means know that God is the Great I Am and is w you
during even your most troublesome and restless times. Put your faith in HIM and
HE will still all your worries and burdens.
You need to take time to be still and let life happen...he is
in control...not me...in the midst of the storm he is the safe haven.
That no matter what is going on, that I need to be still and
listen for God, because he is there and in total control.
I feel God's peace that passes all understanding and
loving/comforting arms wrap around me with this verse, \that no matter what I
go through God will be there with and for me
his
verse is saying to myself; to be at peace in your being known that Jesus is God
and has everything in HIS hands. It gives the hope that the entire world around
may be difficult to understand, or appear chaotic but to be at complete peace
and rest inside your heart. Through truly applying this verse it is possible to
walk in unconditional love with God. When you allow your heart to simply know
that Jesus is the Lord,. By letting your heart open for his presence of God
it means the same thing
as God has a reason for what he does and quit trying to meddle.
To me the passage
speaks to the kind of spiritual serenity that one gets from having a personal
relationship with God. It's about being still in spirit, more than in actions
and putting my trust in him without question or reservation. Even when I may
not see the path, knowing that god has a plan for each of us. In times of
trouble, I can hand things over to him and it gives me a steady calm strength.
Dont let ur mind race
and ur heart worry.be still
It looks most be people
have come to the same understanding/meaning.
Yes it is a big step to
put all your faith, life, heart and soul in to God but it is so worth it.thanks for reading.
