Be Still and Know!

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth" (Psalm 46:10).

Why does it seem like the enemy is winning the battle of good and evil?

Why do parents abandon and abuse children?

Why do predators exist and keep preying on the vulnerable and weak?

Why is it that those who attempt to do good--always, seem to have more difficulty in life than those who do evil?

Why is that we often lose loved ones to sickness and disease and yet those who never do anything right, continue to live?

Why is it some will always hate others for no other reason than they are different?

Why can't the human race (not the white, black, brown, or red, but all) just get along with one another and stop hating?

Why do children die young, before they have opportunity to live life?

Why can't our government stop feuding long enough in their attempt to promote personal agendas and see the needs of the people?

Why do we have to maim and kill one another?

Why can't we all just learn to exist--peaceably--on the one planet in which we must stay?

"The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof," He has just allowed us to enjoy His goodness on earth for a number of days (that number which we do not know), so why don't we--just enjoy it and give Him praise for it? There is going to be a time and that time is soon when all knees will bow and declare His goodness! He will be exalted among those who claim to never have known Him.

There are more questions than answers to explain life and living, but this one thing we can be sure of--if we just get quiet and stop trying to figure things out that God has already worked out--He will get the glory in the end. Because He love us, when we are obedient to Him--no matter what--we will receive all of His promises. All we have to do is--be still and know that no matter what is going on around us--He is still God--of the righteous and the unrighteous, the just and unjust, the saved and unsaved--God of all at all times!
