Days...

Today can be summed up as busy, for sure. But in the moments of sheer and utter "AGH!" I am learning that the peace that our Lord gives is sitting there in the person of His Son Jesus. What a wonderful, peaceful thought. Even if the current circumstances are zooming past, even if they aren't necessarily bad...even when they are good things zooming past - even in those moments I have been known to loose my breath and at times be gripped by fear...but praise the Lord, no matter the moment we find ourselves, there is this unexplainable peace we can experience in Jesus if we simply take Him at His word, to simply, "Be Still and know that I am God....THEN, (and I always say...ONLY THEN) will I be exalted among the heaves, and the earth." Psalm 46:10. 

If you have been around me for even a little bit, you will know that this is my life verse, not because I have it down...shpsh...it's because I am totally BAD at it!!!!! If life is not zooming past me, then I am trying to zoom past God, and if I am not zooming past God, I am dreaming up a way to help fix the broken down car just so I can zoom again. Yup, that's me, the sinfilled zoommer. 

But, I am learning that God simply wants us to acknowledge that HE IS GOD...to know that He is THE God of all God's - to act on that belief. The question to myself is this...If I truly know that He is God...am I stopping to give Him the respect that He deserves, shoot, that He demands? Am I bowing my head, of course....but the truth be told, am I bowing my knee, my will, my desires, my thoughts, my dreams, my questions, my fears, my doubts, my....whatever? This is a lesson that I know God is asking me to learn, because it keeps coming up...so...to bow...I pray Lord, help me bow. Have you bowed today?
