“Be still and know that I AM GOD.” (Psalms 46:10) Today I’m fundamentally reminded to put this into place knowing that all I have on my plate is not for me to “fix”. I am a helper/servant to our Almighty God and He alone is the great healer. I know this well, but my emotional base will sometimes get into the way of what I know. It will want to drive me to try and fix something which isn’t mine to fix. If I do try and fix (which I’ve done many times in my past) it only breeds resentment and frustration from the other party.
For whatever reason, there have been an abundance of severe issues brought to the table of late. Taking each one individually and “remembering to help guide” by listening well and responding as needed and necessary, is my role. Reminding that God is the GREAT HEALER is something I need as well as the party involved. Helping them focus on this truth and laying their issue before God is critically important. Then, learning to put into action Isaiah 40:31, “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength….” is putting TRUST into action.
For me, in-between these sessions I need to put into my action the same Trust I try to help the other party find. I do this by remembering, “Be still and know that I AM GOD.”
