Be Still  And Know, that I am God
Psalm 46:10 ( By Jill Sullivan Pageland S.C.(Sullivan.jill@ymail.com)
 1. Be still
2. know
     3. I am God

Be still: It is very hard for us humans to
be still. We are all about being anything but "still". We try to multi-task, and what happens? We mess up. We try to talk on the phone while watching tv, only to be asked by the person on the other end of the phone if we are listening to them.We try to work on the computer while talking in the phone, only to find we have messed up what we were trying to accomplish on the computer. And maybe worst of all, we try to talk on the phone while driving. Whether hand-free or not, we were distracted. It is against the law in some state already to drive while distracted. Why can't we just do what God told us to do__be still.

One day my husband and I were working in the yard, and I went to our detached garage to get something, I saw a hummingbird beating his beak against the window time after time,trying to get out. I told my husband to come over and see what has happening. While recuperating from back surgery, Jerry was using a walk cane. He very gently walked up to the window and extended the cane to the hummingbird. To my complete amazement, the hummingbird stopped flapping his wings and settled his feet on the cane. Then Jerry slowly moved the cane to the garage door, and the hummingbird was free. Immediately I through how we humans, try so desperately to do things our own way, either ignoring the fact that God is interested in helping us with even life's most mundane tasks. Or, we wait until we are completely out of options before we call on God, like the hummingbird was out of options.

KNOW: God does not want us to just find
out about Him when we die. He wants us to have a relationship with Him on a daily basis. You may ask me if I "know" someone, and I would have to scratch my head to see if I could remember him or her. But, if i know God, we talk to Him daily and want Him around all the time, not just for emergencies, like an accident, a sickness or death. God certainly "knows" us; He made us! He knows the emergencies are going to happen before they do, and He knows we are going to wait until we are out of options before we call on Him.
He even knew us before He made us. We may think we "know" our spouses, but even a close relationship like that between spouses, is nothing to compare with how God knows us and wants us to know Him.

I AM GOD: Gold told Moses to tell Pharaoh that I am has sent you. No-one can say their name is I AM! It should make us shudder with awe and humility that the God of all creation has the power over our next breath! It should make us fall down on our knees and cry Holy, Holy, Holy is The Lord! We are mere mortals: God is I AM !

My great-granddaddy was a Baptist preacher in the early 1900's. His son ( my granddaddy was also a Baptist preacher. As my great-granddaddy was dying he told his son that he was afraid. His son could not imagine why, as he had given his life in serving The Lord as a pastor. My great-granddaddy said, Son, you have no idea what your are saying: I m going to stand before a Holy God! Everytime I tell that story, I still get chills. We all need to live each day with the realization that we stand before I AM!

So, we have broken down this one verse from Psalms 46 into three parts: Be still, know, and I AM ! This is a very powerful verse. I hope you will take this into your heart and apply it to your daily life.
