“Be still and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10)
Truth: God is God and you are not
We live like we are in control and are responsible for all the details of life. We spin and run and panic to have life nicely organized, together and presentable. Sadly, we know that God is God, but we often live as if we are the gods.
Fundamentally, it comes down to where we place our trust and hope. Is God worthy of that trust and hope? Is He everything we need and will He really take care of us?
God’s words to us indicate that He is able and willing. The command is clear: “Be still and know that I am God”. Taking on the role of God results in feelings of exhaustion, insecurity and frustration. We are not meant to take on this pressure. God knows His good plans for us. He will work on our behalf but not while we are trying to work for Him.
Can you rest today and entrust the details of your life to Him? As we have been studying the past few weeks, God loves you and longs to care for you. Run to Him; believe in Him; ask Him to help you understand His ways and will; rest in His care and love for you. He is God!
