BE STILL

PSALMS 46:10: ”BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD; I WILL BE EXALTED AMOUNG THE NATIONS, I WILL BE EXALTED IN THE EARTH"

SEVERAL YEARS AGO MY HOME CHURCH WOULD START WITH PRAYER AND PRAISE AND THE WORD OF GOD. MY PASTOR AT THAT TIME BELIEVED IN REPEATING GOD WORDS SO IT WOULD RESIGNATE IN YOUR HEART AND SPIRIT, EVERY SUNDAY FOR OVER A MONTH HE WOULD DISPLAY THIS CHAPTER FOR ALL TO READ ON ONE ACCORD. I DID NOT KNOW AT THAT TIME THE IMPACT OF THE VERSE THAT TELLS US “BE STILL, AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD”… YEARS LATER I WAS IN A MAJOR FINANCIAL DELIMA, DOING ALL I COULD IN MY OWN POWER, TRYING TO COME UP WITH MY OWN IDEAS OF HOW TO GENERATE INCOME TO BETTER MY SITUATION AND THESE WORDS RESIGNATED IN MY SPIRIT, I FOUND MY SELF LAYING PROSTATE ON THE FLOOR CRYING OUT AND PRAYING.

THEN, I RECEIVED A CALL “OUT OF THE BLUE” WITH AN OPPORTUNITY BEYOND BELIEF, I WAS OFFERED A POSITION TO TAKE CARE OF A STROKE VICTIM THEN I WAS ASK WHAT WOULD BE MY HOURLY RATE, I INSTANTLY KNEW HOW THIS CAME ABOUT AND ASK THE PERSON ON THE LINE IF I COULD PLACE THEM ON A BRIEF HOLD, AND I IMMEDIATELY GOT MY PRAISE ON. YOU MIGHT ASK ME WHAT I LEARNED, (1) NOTHING IS WASTED WITH GOD, HES OMNIPOTENT AND OMNIPRESENT AND HE KNOWS (2) MY BEST THINKING “MAN EXTREMITIES VS. GOD OPPORTUNITY” (3) GODS WORD IS ABSOLUTELY TRUE, HE WILL DO AS HE SAYS AND HIS TIMING IS ALWAYS PERFECT (4) I SAW GOD HAND AT WORK.

WHAT I DID NOT MENTION WAS THE PERSON WHO PLACED THE CALL WAS SOME ONE I SAW AT MY CHURCH, A CASUAL ACQUAINTANCE AT THAT TIME AND SHE DID NOT ME OUTSIDE THE CHURCH, THIS LET ME KNOW THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHO IS WATCHING YOU, AND HOW GOD CAN USE ANY ONE TO CARRY OUT HIS PURPOSE AND PERFECT WILL FOR HIS CHILDREN.
