“Be still, and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10
This
passage is a direct command from God to stop…and stand in awe of Him and His
mighty power (lordsguidance.com).
Wow.
How often in this chaotic time do we stop and sit still and rest in the
presence of God? How often do we sit still and rest for anything anymore?
I
have noticed that even when we do we are distracted by our phone, television,
or a myriad of electronic devices.
We
never stop running. And we carve out such little for our Lord. We might give
Him a quick prayer for meals and bedtime. We might even throw in a quick five
minute devotional for good measure.
God
has put this verse on me in several instances of late. I have been guilty of a
quick “thanks” or a fast prayer.
Read
the Bible? Who has time for that? Sit and be still and talk to God? I have
texts to reply to.
Remember,
the Bible is our defense against the devil and his minions. It is our spiritual
armor. If we are not in the Word, praying and sitting with the Lord daily,
other than Sunday for an hour, then we will be consumed by our enemies.
The
devil is the ultimate agent of chaos. He wants us distracted and disconnected
from our Heavenly Father. Why?
1
Peter 5:8 tells us, “Be sober, be watchful, the devil prowls around like a
roaring lion, looking for someone (souls) to devour.”
Let
us each take time to be in the word, prayer, and sit still and be with God.
Remember, He loves you as a father loves their children. He wants a relationship
with you.
*I want to raise up a prayer of thanks to
the members of this camp who are working so hard to make sure this year’s
Division Reunion is a success!
May God continue to watch over you and
your families and protect you all. And may God save the South!
