Scripture: Psalm 46:10<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Be still and know that I am God;<\/p>\n

I will be exalted among the nations,<\/p>\n

I will be exalted in the earth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Observation<\/strong>: Don’t forget who God is-He is the mighty One and I owe him reverence.<\/p>\n

Application:<\/strong> Thank you for the gentle reminder to listen. And to listen because of whom God is, not because I expect to hear something.<\/p>\n

Prayer:<\/strong> Thank you Lord for this gentle reminder to be obedient. You have asked me to be still and recognize who you are, the amazing all-powerful loving Creator and God. Thank you for wanting time with me. Thank you for the loving ways you lead me. I will be still. I will be still in reverence, not because I expect to hear from you, but because you are who you are and because you instruct me to do so.<\/p>\n

********<\/p>\n

What an excellent reminder.\u00a0 I had been letting my listening time slip, justifying that I was reading, writing and praying and that perhaps, that was enough.<\/p>\n

This morning I was reminded to take that time and just listen. \u00a0And in my listening I asked God a few questions. \u00a0Then I remembered that listening time was to clear my mind of me and listen to Him.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t long before my mind went to this verse.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t say “Be still because I have a lot to say and I’m going to give you the keys to the universe.” I think what it says is more along the lines of “Be still. I will be exalted. I am all-powerful. Recognize this and do as I ask.”<\/p>\n

So I will listen with that in mind. I will also ask questions and engage in conversation as much as He allows. But I also will set aside time to listen just to be reverent and not ask anything in return.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer: Now, I as I have mentioned before I am NOT a Bible teacher or scholar, so my interpretations are just that: My interpretations. And what I write is what I hear God saying to me. Ask Him what He wants to say to you. And then listen…. To hear Him and to obey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
