Some days I wish there were less hours in the day. You know what I mean? You just wish the day would end.
Then other days, you wish there were more hours in the day – just too many things to get done and too little time.
It seems that Monday’s often fall prey to one of these attitudes (and sometimes both). I got to the office today and the first thing I did was whittle my To Do list down because I knew there is no way I can get all that done today. I was stressing about making meetings, making follow up calls, planning for Sunday and making a couple of hospital visits when God reminded me of a passage in the Psalms. Psalm 46:10-11 says this:
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Regardless of how important all the things on my To Do list may seem to me, God is still in control. God will be exalted. It is God’s work, not mine. It is God’s desire that should be my focus. And according to this passage, God’s desire is for me to slow down and be still long enough to remember and know that God is God!
Sounds simple enough. Will you be still for just a few minutes today?
