i have a new favorite Scripture: "Be still, and know that I am God" Psalms 46:10 (i think all my favorite Scriptures come from Psalms for some reason...)

i looked up the word "still" on Crosswalk.com and it means to sink, relax, sink down, let drop, be disheartened, relax, withdraw, idle, to let go, to refrain, let alone, to be quiet, to show oneself slack

i have also recieved a massive revelation after watching the movie The Lake House last night. basically its about waiting for the right time and not doing anything meanwhile to mess it up (such as walking in front of the bus and getting killed)

lets put two and two together now... God is not in time... He sees all things, past, present and future. He knows the right time for everything. a right thing at the wrong time is a wrong thing. in the movie, the guy had to basically wait 2 years to be with the girl. he had no choice, it was the only way. had he not waited (or met someone else) they would/could not have been together. he seriously had to lay the relationship down (be still) for two whole years in order to see it come to pass (and know that I am God)

God doesnt need our help in making things happen. you know that saying, "God helps those that help themselves"? Well, in some cases i beg to differ. often when we get involved in "helping" God plan our life we only make things worse (stepping in front of the bus)

we truly need to "be still" in all of its definitions... lay it down, let it go, relax... hand it over to God and then watch Him be who He is - God... and work all things out for our good, and we will know that He is God. but we have to be still first.

sorry, unless you watched the movie this might make little sense, but if you watched it, you can appreciate these truths
