Be Still

Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God...

Be still, 

When all the problems of today are swirling around us.  Be still.  Stop for a second.  Take a step back and assess the situation.  

• BE:  To be fixed; to exist; to have a real state or existence, for a longer or shorter time.

• STILL: To appease; to calm; to quiet; as tumult, agitation or excitement; 

• And know,

• KNOW: To perceive with certainty; to understand clearly; to have a clear and certain perception of truth, fact, or any thing that actually exists.

I am God.

One of my children was more easily freaked out than the others.  Many a time I would have to make her stop and hit the reset button.  

I think this verse is sorta like that.  No matter how great the distress around us is...be still, and know that I am God is very comforting.  

God has not lost control of our situation.  When we are freaking out, we need to remember that.
