He Finally Did It!

It has taken about 3000 years since the psalmist wrote Psalm 46:10 but God has finally done it. And I love how He did it. Because His ways are higher than our ways and His thoughts are higher than our thoughts. He did it with something that we can’t even see with the naked eye.

What did He do?

He has brought the world to a virtual standstill. He has slowed us down from the busyness we have created in our lives. He did this so that we do not have any excuse to not be still and know that He is God.

And what are we doing?

We are going crazy because we either don’t know how to slow down or we are afraid to be alone and quietly spend time with God. If you’re like me, spending quiet time with God can be scary. Why? Because His thoughts are higher than my thoughts and my thoughts go all over the place…..”SQUIRREL!”. Everytime I’m trying to hear from Him, I can get distracted. Some of my thoughts are downright crazy and I have no idea where they come from (well I have an idea). But I honestly think this is a once in a lifetime opportunity (home isolation) for us to slow down and look at our walk with God. Maybe we have been so busy serving God that we haven’t slowed down to see if we are serving in the area where He really needs us to serve in this season of our life.  

One of my favorite scripture verses is Isaiah 40:31. “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.”

When this isolation is lifted will our strength be renewed?

Will we mount up with wings like eagles?

Will we be able to run and not be weary or walk and not faint?

Will we be ready to serve no matter where God calls us?  

We can spend this time fretting and worrying or we can wait on God and be ready to hit the ground running. And if we hit the ground running, then the second part of Psalm 46:10 will happen, God will be exalted among the nations and He will be exalted in all the earth.

Let’s not regret this all-important time in our lives
