Be Still and know that 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 (New King James version)

Have you ever tried making jelly ? You mix the powder mixture into hot water and stir it up. After that it needs to be poured out into a dish or a bowl and left still . Once the jelly is set , you get to topple the bowl and you get this . Perfectly well set jelly .

However if you ever try shaking it up while its setting , you can be sure when you topple it over you are going to get a sloppy mess of semi set jelly. Not good !

Line from a kid’s movie that I was watching with my nephews ‘Being still is not the same as doing nothing !’

When we remain still , we allow God to work in us the way He wants. Sometimes God speaks to us not to change the situation or circumstance around us, He speaks to us to change us to face the circumstance and situation.

We are in the process of being set :-) Try toppling over before the time God has appointed and we are gonna end up in a sloppy mess. Be still , wait on the Lord ! Have Him have His way in us… HE changes us from the inside out. Our very nature is changed when we surrender to Him. He moulds us in His image. Be still and know that He is God. He will be exalted among the nations . He will be exalted in the earth.

In the first few verses in this chapter we read , "God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, Even though the earth be removed, And though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though its waters roar and be troubled, Though the mountains shake with its swelling."

The fact remains God is our refuge and strength !! Yes mountains will be carried into the midst of the sea , yes waters will start roaring … yes mountains will start shaking … But yet … come what may … our strength and refuge remains the Lord .

Be still and know He is God !

This week has been interesting . Couple of things kept cropping up that really provoked me quite a bit. And while every cell in my body wanted to react in the most impulsive way possible , God quietly taught me to be still ! Not easy… am still learning ! But yet when we remain still and allow God to work in us and seek Him its amazing . Yes mountains still shake , but Im getting set !! He is changing me from the inside out !

God Bless
