"Be still and know that I am God."
Psalm 46:10
Psalm 46:10
This is difficult thing to do; especially if you are the type of person who is used to doing everything.
I run around most days with a mantra that's closer to "If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself." And guess what?! My body decided to not let me do anything for a while!
Without going into a long explanation, I have had some stomach issues lately. And on top of that, I managed to catch some bronchitis. My body has decided it has had enough of me doing everything for everyone and has called it quits.
Needless to say, I've been having to learn how to rest and relearn how to take better care of me. If for no other reason than "When mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy."
Part of this is wrapped up in this verse from Psalms.
Be Still
stop moving and just breath
stop trying to fix everything
stop trying to control everything
be in the moment
And Know
that God is in control
that I am where I need to be
that I am loved infinitely
abundantly
beyond all measure
Soli Deo Gloria
Barbara A. Ensley
