Be Still...

I have been battered by Ps 46:10 for quite some time now. For a long time I found it amusing, then it was just annoying, and after a while, I will admit it became frustrating! I thought I had gotten the point and it was time to move on. I believed the WORD had been received and a new one was in order. The section of the verse that has chased after me was for so long... "Be still and know that I am God." I have it hanging on my wall, written on my mirror, and highlited in my Bible, on stationary, etc with the expectation of finally finding the part I have been missing and embrace the message intended. The main point I had a problem with was the "be still" part. Funny that I was rushing through a message of stillness :)...it's just like me.

Well, the other day, I read the verse in its entirety, and guess what... any of you that know me will be able to see why it now excites me...the rest of the very same verse reads "... I will be exalted among the nations." I am now quite content to embrace all else God is in eager anticipation for me to grasp out of this WORD, ALL of it. I must remember, accept, and embrace the stillness in order to be successful in my kingdom purpose among the nations. Let's see what else there is to finding Him in the stillness. To fully experience Him I would imagine is much like Moses being covered on the rock to glimpse His back and walking away forever and visibly changed. Hoping for the glimpse I do not understand the impact of.
Proclaim Him,
Terah
