Rest in the LORD
Psalm 46:1, 8-10 (NKJV)
1 God is our refuge and strength,
A very present help in trouble.
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD,
Who has made desolations in the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
He breaks the bow and cuts the spear in two;
He burns the chariot in the fire.
10 Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
++++++++++++
Verse 10 is the key verse here. The psalm describes various troubles in
our life. Verse 10 just tells us to "Be still" and watch God at work.
That could be translated as "quit striving" or "quit trying". How often
do we wear ourselves out in trying to find solutions to our problems,
rather than taking them to the LORD and letting Him deal with them?!?
