Be Still And Know That I Am God

“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

Some days and some years are just hard.  Sometimes life is so busy.  Sometimes everything just pours down.  Somehow I have to learn in the times of over-abundant blessings and in the times where I’m feeling crushed beneath many mountains and many waters, to be still and know that You are and that You are God and all that implies.  Funny how that keeps repeating itself in my mind and I sit down and search for a poem I wrote years ago, I find my other cries of my heart to you.  And I come upon my first entry in one journal on January 19, 1906.  And here I am, still learning what I was trying to learn then.

Be still and know that I am God,
I’ve walked the ground you trod.
I’m Creator of the sod you walk upon.

Be still and know that I am God.
Set busyness aside
And walk close by my side.

Be still and know that I am God.
Lay your head upon my chest,
I’ll give you needed rest.

Be still and know that I am God
When laughter your heart fills
Or sadness laughter kills.

Be still and know that I am God.
From schedules stop, take pause;
Make me your only cause.

Be still and know that I am God,
All plans and dreams make mine.
You’ll accomplish much this time.

Be still and know that I am God,
Let nothing else distract
Your heart from mine.

Be sill, let speaking cease,
Kneel humbly at My feet.
Know Me, like nothing else,
No longer three,
Just you and Me.
