Day 2 - Be Still!

I live for Wednesdays. Middle of the week, Bible study, no work. It is purely a time to write and catch up on my ever expanding "to do" list.

Today, I am thankful for rest and motivation. But I'm not just talking about sleep. Since summer 2009, Psalm 46:10 has been my constant companion. “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Too often, this achiever gets caught up in the "to do" list. Then, I get overwhelmed. Then, I get frustrated. Granted, it takes me a while to get to this place, but eventually, I have lost sight of what I am really working toward. 

When I take time to be thankful and remember that everything I do is for God's glory, I remove myself from the equation and allow the Lord to fully move and work in His way and in His time. Today, I am thankful for the rest and strength He gives me to pursue my dreams and pray He is exalted in the midst of it all.

What are you thankful for today?

  1. I wear a necklace that says "Be Still" on the back...to remind me of much of what you wrote about.

    Thanks for linking up!
