Relax

He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire. He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psalm 46:9, 10 NIV)

This is the reason why we do not worry when wars and calamities hit us here on earth.  The Lord can make them cease. Our job is to "be still, know that he is God". The ultimate purpose, He will be exalted everywhere.  

When in turmoil, even on a personal level, Be Stil, know He is God. If God is able to cease wars, how can he not cease our personal issues and problems? 

I need to remember this at all times.  Turmoils today include the need to finish a whole bunch of stuff - for camp while keeping up with personal responsibilities. I need to remember that God is God and i just need to relax and be still.  

// Lord, help me trust that You are in control of all things. You will prove to be God even in the midst of turmoil - big or small. In Jesus' name, amen.
