Be still and know that I AM

Good morning everyone! Wow! What a great day to be alive and have a true living God! God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

You know your struggles; sometimes you wonder why? Elijah, a great prophet in the Bible. He was in a challenge, a duel if you will, with the other gods and his God, our God. Elijah won! How great it would be to be victorious over the evil, the idol worshipping. The victor, riding on shoulders and be triumphant. That is what Elijah was. NO! After all witnessed the power of the true living God, the most evil queen, Jezebel, sent word to Elijah. Words of congratulations?

She said, "As sure as you are Elijah and I am Jezebel, you will be dead by this time tomorrow." 1 Kings 19:2 Fear struck Elijah and he ran, clear to Beer-sheba. Elijah went to the desert and prayed to die. Sometimes we do this, we are desperate, however, God came to him and asked "What are you doing here Elijah?" Elijah answered and expected to hear from God in a mighty way. Again, it was the "small still voice."

Survey what has happened to you this week and see where God's hands are upon you. It may be something very small, a word to another about God, a meeting, a turning of another's spirit, just a glance or hug. Take time. Be still and know that I am! Can you do it? As Bob the Builder said, "Yes I can (with God's help)!"

Love you all. Have a wonderful weekend.

In Christ's Love and Grace
