I opened one of my emailed daily bible verses the other day and found the familiar verse out of Psalm 46. “Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” [vs10 NKJV]
I often find that a daily bible verse reflects something I am going through or confirms one of my recently posted devotions. That is what happened this time.
At prayer a week ago, I noticed how fidgety I was. I rubbed my hands, curled my fingers, moved my legs and arms, leaned forward or back. I could not sit still. As I prayed, I realized that I fidget almost all the time, no matter what the setting. I also realized it is because if I remain in any one position for very long, my body gets stiff, and it takes me a while to loosen up enough to move again.
So, I fidget. I keep moving. And what does God remind me to do? He wants me to “Be still and know that [He is] God.”
I found both caution and promise in that verse.
The caution: A reminder that I am not to allow my fidgeting to move from my body to my soul and spirit. My mind, will and emotions are to remain “still.” My spirit is to be quiet in Him.
The promise: He is God! He will be exalted in all things. (Now in my soul and spirit, and one day in my glorified body!)
Thank you, LORD, for that reminder that you are indeed “God!”
