Knowing HIM ~

Psalm 46:10

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

We are told to be still and know that HE is GOD. Being still implies not moving or doing something. This dormant activity refers to us laying down our wills in a situation we have brought before the Lord. It's telling us to be at rest in the Lord, in the very One who will resolve the problem for us. GOD has given HIS people the ability to think, to rationalize, to speculate, to wonder and comprehend. HE has also given us the faith to trust HIM and trust HIS Word. HE gives us an opportunity to have witness of HIM performing HIS Word, promise, and taking care of us personally.

Knowing GOD is trusting HIM. It's also the ability to recognize HIM, have faith in HIM,

be cognizant of HIM, understand HIM and love HIM. You understand HIM as GOD who created all things seen and invisible and HE desires to have relationship with you. In addition, you understand HIM in HIS Word and that HE has a purpose for you. GOD is the One with the eternal vision in this relationship. What HE allows you to go through is part of a much bigger picture that your destiny is entwined to.

In everything we have been given by GOD, we must clearly see that HE receives the Glory. Resting in and trusting HIM is no different. What and who GOD saved us from is a testimony waiting to be declared, a testimony waiting to happen! If we point to our own capabilities as opposed to giving thanks to GOD, we are left in a worse state than before. There is such wealth accumulated from trusting GOD and giving HIM the Glory. A part of this wealth is increased, crazy faith! GOD desires you to walk in this kind of faith that will get the attention of others and point to HIM and HIS goodness!

People spend a lot of money to hear experts speak in order to duplicate their actions and become experts themselves. There is only One Expert that has dominion over and in the entire universe and HIS Word is freely given with fail proof accuracy. HIS Word never fails. HIS Word is Jesus. That is recognizing HIM. How can you not trust someone who is accessible from anywhere, at any time, by anyone who calls on HIM? 

Whatever the problem may be, give it to The Lord Jesus and trust in HIM to handle it for you. Rest in the actions and counsel of GOD's Word and come to know for yourself, personally, that HE is Who HE says HE is and that is GOD. Shalom.
