Be Still And Know That I am God

This has been one crazy, hectic past month for me. I am glad June is finally over. I am looking forward to some new things and wanting to get settled. We just recently moved from a 3 bedroom Double Wide into our own stick built (from the ground up) 3 bedroom house. We are loving it. I am especially thankful to be out of the DW completely. It seemed like a long drawn out process. Through it all God has been there for us and taken great care of me and mine. These last 2 weeks I have heard several people saying things that all come back to Psalm 46:10. "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted in the nations I will be exalted in the earth." God has been calling me to be still. I don't know how many of you have problems with this like I do, but it is not always easy. It is quite the opposite. I learned today that I got this trait from my mom. She was a busy woman almost all the time. She did not know how to be still. I am not sure that I know how to do that also. I am trying though. I took the time the other morning to watch the birds and fish in the water at the park before work. It was a nice time. I have found that when I take time to be still and let God take care of things, the things I give to him seem to go more smoothly. Like our move. I was trying to coordinate it all and make sure that we had the people we needed to get it all done. My help was possibly unable to help me. God told me He would take care of it, and so I let Him do so. Whenever I tried to take control of things again, I just had to give it back to Him and let Him do what He does best. He took care of it all so much better than I could. Praise His Name. I guess I said all that to say this. Trust Him and let Him take care of it all. Cast your all your anxiety upon Him because He cares for you. I did and He does.

Boy, did you hit the nail right on the head. It's a hard lesson to learn, but it is such a necessary one.

Love you,
