Greetings,
Have you learned the benefit of just becoming still when the pressures of life become unbearable? Our tendency is to get so busy, we forget about our problems. When our actions become frenetic, we decide to go shopping, go to the gym, visit with friends, etc. The trouble with being so busy is that you’ve not only forgotten your problems, you have failed to think about your Heavenly Father. God wants us to be still so that we can focus on Him and His goodness.
Psalm 46:10-11 (NKJV) – “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! [11] The LORD of hosts is with us; The God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah”
“Selah” is thought to be the desert city of Petra located midway on an important caravan trading route. As traders traveled through the vast desert, thirsty, worn, and exhausted, they would stop at Selah and rest before resuming their journey. So, Selah means: stop and think about how you’ve made it this far, and then regain your strength for the remainder of the journey.
Mighty God, help me to be still and know that You are Lord God over all things. You have brought me safe this far. Strengthen me for the rest of my journey!
Today, I’m worshiping with the Binions and “Hunger.”
We love you and are praying for you. Be INSPIRED!
Pastor
