“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” – Psalms 46:10
Right now this is a big concept for many people. Life is hard and finances very tight for many families throughout our country. Jobs and homes are being lost every time we turn around and things simply look very bleak to many of us.
Regardless of our circumstances though, we can rest assured that He is God! Always has been, always will be. And we just need to remember and lean on that promise.
I want Him to be honored … in my home, in my decisions, in my thoughts and actions! I don’t want discouragement to overwhelm us! Why is it then that I struggle and don’t always remember to look to Him for the answers and direction I need?
I need to simply spend more time practicing the “Be Still and know” part of that verse! But there’s more!!! I often wonder how God can care about the little details … you know, the ones that kind of end up putting me over the edge sometimes…
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” (Matthew 6:25 & 26 NIV)
I would like to encourage you to read all of Matthew 6:25-34. I guarantee you will walk away encouraged. You will know for sure that He does care about the details…about YOUR details! What do you need today? He can meet that need abundantly. Be still.
