Things In Common - Being Still

"Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth" (Psalm 46:10).  I woke up with several scriptures this morning  and this was the first of three. I hear the Father saying "Be Still", for God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in the time of trouble. Therefore, don't let these times of turmoil bring fear; just remember to be still and with your heart hear and receive the love that the Father has for you. We need to give all our worries, anxieties, and problems to the Lord, Jesus Christ, let Him handle it, and He will. For I Peter 5:7  states "casting all  your care upon Him, for He cares for you". Are we to do nothing? No, that's not what I'm saying. As we go from day to day lets not allow ourselves to become depress and hopeless because of what things look like, but allow our faith to be Stretch. We must trust Him, He will not fail us. He has a very good track record. So keep casting every care on Him, He can handle it. Every morning give thanks for His purpose for that day. The third scripture is Hebrews 13:5 "Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for He has said, I will never leave you nor forsake you". This is the Lord promising to be right in the mist of it all with us. He will not abandon us, with all that He's already done for us, why would He change now? For He gave His only Son. I believe that the Bible is the word of God, it represents God, therefore, He (God) must honor His word. If we allow our faith to be stretch (rubberband), we will come out on top.  Together  these three scriptures give such a powerful reassurance of God's love for His children.  Be encouraged and continue to believe the word of God, to stand on the word of God, and to trust in the word of God.
Father, we are being still before You, casting all of our care on You, because we know that You care for us, for You will never leave us nor forsake/abandon us during our time of trouble. We realize that You are our refuge and strength a present help in trouble; and Lord, we are in trouble. Hear our cry, O Lord, and rescue us. In Jesus' name.
