Be Still

"Be still, and know that I am God!" Psalm 46:10! This really meant a lot to me this past week. A couple of years ago, I would have never thought of myself to be ina cabin for a week without my hair dryer. There were many times where I had free time or I was just in a quiet place. Joy of Living is beautiful by the way, so seeing the hills and the trees and the river made me really think about how beautiful God's creation really is. During one of my devotions, I stumbled upong Psalm 46:10. This week was at times frustrating, and at times we were really wondering what God was doing. At times it felt hopeless, like anything we did was not going to matter. When you have nothing else to do during your free time, and the only book that you brought along was the bible, you really begin to enjoy reading the bible! There were times during the day where I thought, "Man, I can't wait to get back to the cabin to finish reading this or this!" While sitting under the trees the one evening, I read over and over "Be still and know that I am God!". I started changing it around, "Be still, and know that YOU are my God!" During those times, God can speak to us in a way that is more powerful than anything else. And God did speak to me. I realized that my busy life at home was taking away from my time with God. While in Ohio, I had so much time where I could just spend it in God's word and talking with Him. So now, in my life, I am going to apply being still, and knowing that He is my God!
