““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 ESV

Be still?!?!?!?
Is that even a possibility this time of year?
Still is a strange concept. It can mean so may things. Some might call it laziness, some may call it Godliness, some might call it...Impossible!
When I think of Jesus and His time here on earth I think of peacefulness. He never seemed caught off guard or rushed or perplexed. He always seemed peaceful. The opposite of stressful. He was busy though. Preaching to 100s of people, healing, teaching...no laziness there.
What was his secret? Well other than He was God in human flesh of course.
Jesus trusted God's plan. He trusted that God would complete the plan He had for His life. And He trusted that the plan was good. Maybe not always comfortable, but always good. He wasn't running around trying to figure out the plan, He wasn't panicking about the plan. He just trusted.
“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might...
Ecclesiastes 9:10 ESV

God has not called us to laziness either. He has plans for us. He will make them happen. Let's be willing participants and spend less time complaining, worrying, fussing and fretting. Do what God has placed in front of you today with joy as if serving the Lord and give him you worries and concerns about tomorrow. Trust in His path, pray, read His word and allow God to do great things through you today.
Blessings
