Today’s post was the most difficult one so far of the 31-Day 5 Minute Free Write Challenge. Even more difficult than the day I had technical issues with computer.
I just was not feeling drawn to any particular verse. The word for today in the challenge is “treasure” but that did not speak to me.
After flipping through my notebook filled with potential verses for this series, I decided on this one.
“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
As you prep for life’s hard times, remember to slow down, find a corner and meditate on this verse while in “time out” – especially the first sentence.
Be still and know that I am God
The word “I” in this verse refers to God and not us.
God is not sitting up there in heaven behind the Romper Room mirror saying
“Barbara, Bubba, Judy, William, Peggy Sue, Jojo, Patrick, Michael, Charlotte, Rose, Bobby, Jack, you will be exalted among the nations and the earth.”
Nope.
God is the great I AM who will be exalted. It would be beneficial for us to remember and meditate on this once in a while.
Even just the first two words make for good meditation –
Be still
This country would be in much better shape if we would just quit yapping and be still for awhile.
Whether it is those 2 words, the entire first sentence, or the entire verse, our country needs to live out these words.
And let the living out of this verse start with the man/woman you see in the mirror.
