“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Psalm 46:10
Tomorrow will be my last day at my current job.
I find it amazing and amusing at the same time that I have had the same conversation in this last week with at least 8 of my co-workers in 8 different occasions.
So where you going…what will you be doing…why?”
I am truly astonished by the similar reactions of every single one of my curious peers when I tell them each the same thing, “I don’t know, God will soon reveal.”
And the look that comes as a response from them is the exact same thing – a little confusion mixed with “girl, you sure about this?” kind of look.
I respond with every fiber in me, “I just have to obey.”
Yes I know I have bills. Lots of them. Without a job…You can easily guess the rest. But I also know, that I know, that I know that my Father said it is time to go. Where to is yet to be revealed, thus, the stillness is commanded.
And I refuse to move unless HE says so.
They don’t know that it is taking all the faith I have and hoping to have to fall completely on God. They don’t know that there are moments I find myself questioning the practicality of my obedience. But then again, the journey is mine and mine alone. And I keep hearing the soothing voice of God tell me,
Soon they will know. Soon they will see ME work. Soon they will believe…You just trust ME.”
So in this time of stillness, I wonder friend if God is telling you the same thing.
I wonder if you are struggling with your obedience to God because of how things look, or how you think everyone around you will see it. I wonder if God is taking a stand in your life and asking you to fall completely on Him and erase the back-up plans.
Friend, have you considered that there is no other plan to have if God is already plan A? Do you still remember that HE is the Great I AM who never, ever fails?
I don’t know what adversity or opposition you are being dealt right now. I don’t know how uncertain today made you feel. But I know we serve a God who is able to do all things. I know we serve a God whose power separated day from night, a God who commanded the waves and waters to be still and they obeyed!
HE IS GOD! Do you hear me friend, HE. IS. GOD. And He still sits on his throne.
“Be still and know” that He is God and I pray that your situation will very soon cause exaltation for the Most High. God will be exalted because of your obedience in Jesus name. AMEN.
