Be Still and Know

I am absolutely amazed at the rhetoric being displayed over the inauguration of a new President. We do this every four years. Our country has done it now every four years for about two hundred and forty years. Yet, everyone seems in an uproar, like the country is going to fall apart or implode. It hasn't before. Why would it now?

It's okay to protest. We live in a free country that allows everyone to express their opinions, their concerns, their likes and dislikes in a peaceful way. We live in such a great country that every four years we can have a change in leadership in the most peaceful and civil way. WOW! So, why are folks so upset? Because, their focus is misplaced...

Today's word is Psalm 46:10, NLT, which reads, "Be still, and know that I am GOD! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world."

I think we get upset because we focus too much on individuals and don't focus enough on the fact that GOD has everything in control. So, your candidate didn't win - GOD is still GOD, and He's still on the throne. So, you're concerned, and we should all be cognizant of daily life, BUT, GOD is still in the midst of it all. He appoints rulers. Trust Him!

It is easy to be upset and want to lash out when you feel that things aren't going your way. And, trust me, things don't always go our way (or so we think). BUT, we can rest assured that none of this surprises GOD; none of this caught Him off guard. It's time to let GOD do His thing. It's time to be still and know.

Be Blessed,
