Friday at last has arrived and I pray that yours is an encounter with God today. One that lets you know it was Him. As I write my steaming cup of Door County Harvest Blend Coffee is steaming away with little swirls reaching out and upward.
Psalm 46:10. Be still and know that I am God.
The above verse is a simple one but all too often not taken seriously enough. Today many people will go through trials and tribulations. They struggle through situations and circumstances that they just can't fix. They work harder and harder and sink further and further into despair. They pray and it seems that there is no answer when they cry out.
Most of the time after we pray we turn to the one who seems to be able to do the most for us. We call on ourselves. We go right back to the person who just couldn't help in the first place. We take control as soon as God does not move fast enough or in the way we desire.
We tell God that we don't need Him. Look again at our verse. Imagine waiting at the feet of God and asking for help and then walking away. Wouldn't sitting with God just waiting on Him be awesome in itself? When we pray, we are sitting with Him and having an encounter with God.
Take more time in prayer, but listen, obey, and cherish the time.
God bless.
Marty
