"There can be clarity in chaos, if you be still long enough."
-SoSerene
Psalms 46:10..."Be still and know that I am God..." Yet another translation interprets this scripture as "Stop fighting", He says, " and know that I am God."
Each time that I was at a pivotal point in my life, my initial instinct was "flight" when the pressure was turned up. Each time, some kind of way Psalms 46 found its way before my eyes.
"But Lord, I'm tired of this phase in my life and I don't understand why you keep telling me to be still."
"Where am I going and how long will it be before I arrive at this predetermined destination?"
"God I'm growing weary and I don't know how much fight I have left in me..." "Stop fighting", He says, " and know that I am God."
If you are anything like me, you are a bit of a control freak and you tend to plan most things. However, when something doesn't go according to that plan, you divert to plans B, C and D. But what happens when none of them work and you feel helpless and hopeless because you are no longer in control? It is usually at that moment where God steps into the driver's seat and begins to navigate. Could it be that if you are still experiencing a great deal of chaos that you are still fighting? I know that I was!
"There can be clarity in chaos, if you be still long enough."
