Be Still...

Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 

​Quarantine and Social Distancing are terms we have been hearing a lot these days. While these terms are different, it has been to the benefit of ourselves and others to act accordingly. At first, I struggled with this. Our daily lives have always been occupied and scheduled with work, school,  practice and games for different extracurricular activities, running errands, family time, and church time. I have realized over the last several days that I have incorporated so much into my life that it has made me tired physically, mentally, and spiritually. I have been able to BE STILL. I have taken the time to get to know God better. God tells us in Psalms 46:10 to be still. He wants us to cease and to stop. He says to know that I am God. The word know means to become acquainted, to recognize, to perceive. Render yourself to God and recognize who he is. God wants our attention daily and He deserves that attention. He will be exalted or rise among the heathen (people or nations) and the earth. This verse allows us to see God's love even more. He doesn’t want us to get so busy that we cause ourselves to be tired. Maybe you can take the time to be still and get to know God better during these next several weeks. We can look at these times as a blessing rather than a disadvantage.
