"BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD"
A beautiful chorus? yes!
Easy to sing? yes!
Easy to sing from your heart? not so much
Easy to actually do? not so much
Be still...be still....this week my struggle seems to be found in these two little words! In the near future we will be filling out forms and having discussions about our first placement - year one of the 40+ years Sheldon and I will be serving as SA Officers. The reason I can't "be still?" I think it's a mixture of feeling truly humbled again that God would call me to full time service....trying to find out more about myself as a leader & pastor....trying to know if God has called me to a specific ministry at this point in my life....what my future education will look like....if Sheldon and I would fit into the whole separate appointment aspect of the SA....so many questions....I feel like I need the answers. But God still shouts at me from Heaven "BE STILL...I hear your prayers....just wait on me!" It's so easy to encourage others to "be still" in God's presence and to wait upon him for answers....it's harder when you preach that same message to yourself! If the HS reminds you about this post in your devotional time - send up a prayer for me!
