"Be still..."

Have you been to an Endodontis for a root canal? How about to an Ophthamologist for surgery of the eye? If you have been through a medical procedure that required your stillness, you can than relate to the stillness referred to in verse 10 of Psalm 46, when God says "Be still, and know that I am God." Only that at this time, the stillness required is the stillness of your spirit. Though the circumstances or trails may seem uncomfortable, and at times painful, he is performing something miraculous WITHIN you. Stop squirming!

I admit, no one cares to subject themselves to any type of medical procedure, especially when pain is involved. But nevertheless, we can all agree that if done well, we are much happier for it. Same goes with your inner being, your soul, your heart; where you shelter and hide everything that makes who you are. The good, the bad, the right, the wrong. It is there where God needs to perform his "operation." Do not postpone this much needed divine procedure. Do not try to avoid the inevitable. For you will only delay the process of healing and transformation that will bring you closer to your purpose. Instead, why don't you embrace it as an opportunity for God to show up!

"Be still and know that I am God" says the Lord. Be still and get to know him as your...whatever the need be...Healer, Deliverer, Redeemer, Savior, Protector, Provider, Peace Maker, Defender, etc. Be still, and know Him!
