Psalms 46

Psalms 46:10

Be still, and know that I am God;

This psalm took a whole new meaning for me this morning. In my first observance, God takes all the action but I need only to be still and not fight with Him to take action. While God fights the wars out there, I only need to be still. 

This psalm is ultimately chiding me for being a control freak. There is over reliance on my ability and foresight against God's ability and plans. While asking Him to lead the way, I too make certain actions to fulfill a destiny that I myself want. God may have had a different destiny in mind or a different way he wants to lead me to the destiny.

Difficult as it will be, I will listen and obey rather than push a way that is my own.
