Take Time To Rest

Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
  -- Psalm 46:10

So, I had the verse and I was writing away when I sensed that all was not going well. In place of running with the Lord, it seemed more like I was running into Him. That was yesterday's writing. Therefore, I backed off and kept quiet. At times we think we must be in a continual performance before God, like there is some sort of heavenly quota set for each of us. And you have probably sat before a minister who has confirmed that for you. Yet, both of us (and that minister) forget that Jesus often broke away to find solitude with His Father. Our verse for today points out that God's work does not depend upon you or me. Our job in this verse is to be still and know that He is God. No writing, speaking, singing, or pounding the pavement, just a time to be still and know God more. 

So take time with the Lord to rest from your labors.
