"Be still and know that I am God."

Ever read this verse in context?  This verse is written in the same passage with phrases like:

• "though the earth give way and the mountains fall.."

•  "Nations are in an uproar, kingdoms fall."

In the middle of chaos God calls us to be still.  As of late times have been incredibly crazy in my life.  How do I know this?  My wife tells me.  That's how crazy my life has been.  I have been so much on the go that I don't even see it- my wife has to tell me. 

    Wife:   "How was your day?"
    Me:      "My day was crazy, but good."
    Wife:   "You do realize that has become your standard answer the past year?"
    Me:      silence...... "What's for dinner?"

Tonight God reminds me to be still. 

(Thank you Father for being my refuge and strength.  You are my Strong Arm.  You are forever faithful.)
