BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD God, what do you mean to be still and know you are God?

My child, what I mean is: Though the earth be removed, Though the waters thereof roar and are troubled, Though the mountains shake with swelling, Though the wind blow, Though the storm rage;

IN OTHER WORDS: Though your bills are due, Though they give you a hard time on your job, Though your husband won't act right, Though your wife won't act right, Though your children are disobedient, Though there's sickness in your body, Though your enemies get on your NERVES;

Stop your WORRIES! Stop your COMPLAINING! Stop your DOUBTING! Stop your FROWNING! Cease your fears, and dry up those tears!

For I'm right there to comfort you, I'm right there to guide you, I'm right there to hold you up, I'm right there to heal you, I'm right there to deliver you.

So cast your cares upon me for I care for you. My child this is what I mean by being still and knowing I, AM. FOR I AM GOD ALL BY MYSELF!

This is so beautiful MaryLu. Thank you for sharing it with us.

I pray for all of us, that we may linger, that we may sustain that loving trust for God and His care. Why do we forget so quickly? Lord, grant us all at this moment that grace to live in Your love, and have EXPECTANT FAITH. May I share some relevant scriptures?

ISAIAH 46:3&4 Hear Me, oh house of Jacob {your name can go here}, you have been borne of Me from birth, and have been carried from the womb; even to your old age I am the same, and even to your graying years I shall bear you!I have done it, I Who will continue, and I Who will carry you to safety.

PSALM 37:23&24 Your steps are established by Me; and I delight in your way. When you fall you will not be hurled headlong; because I am the One Who holds your hand.

SONG OF SONGS 4:7 You are all- beautiful, My beloved, and there is no blemish in you.

Song of Songs 4:10 How beautiful is your love, My sister, My bride, how much more delightful is your love then wine..

Oh how He loves you and me..

Dear Theresa,

Thank you. God's words are so comforting and so full of hope!

I love that name, Theresa. St. Theresa, the Little Flower is one of my favorites and I always think of her when I hear the name Theresa.

On December 9, I will be going to Washington with the Missionaries of Charity Sisters (Mother Teresa's nuns) to see the sisters take the Profession of Vows at the Immaculate Shrine of Mary...I am so looking foward to it. I never saw a religious take their vows and I'm sure being with the sisters is going to prove to be a very fruitful, blessed day - I love being in their company because you truly feel the presence of God working through them. I will remember all of you in my prayers that day.

Kiwi and Theresa, have a very blessed day.

Happy Thanksgiving. You don't celebrate Thanksgiving Day, Kiwi, but have a wonderful day anyway. :)

God Bless

MaryLu
