"Lord, make me to know my end and to appreciate the measure of my days - what it is: let me know and realize how frail I am...how transient is my stay here."                                                        Psalm 39:4


+The reason it is so important to 'be still and know that I am God' (Psalm 46:10) is that this is what gives you true perspective on your life. There are so many distractions in this world that can eat up the minutes and hours of your life. I live outside of time. In Me...so do you! But you still are bound by the allotted time of your days on earth. I created you with a purpose. I have given you this allotted time to use wisely. Step back and analyze what you do with what you have been given. Each person is given 24 hours. It is a precious gift. Calculate how you want to use it. Don't let the flurry of possibilities take you away from My plan....My call on your life. It would be better...far better....for you to just sit calmly in My Presence resting in My Love...not doing anything else....rather than to run around completing your "to do" list. It's not about what you do! It's about who you are! Minute by minute...the Holy Spirit is fully engaged in transforming your life into exactly what it is meant to be. What's the best way for you to access this help? Rest! Be still! "Embrace what the Spirit is doing in you." (Romans 8:4 Message) You can do nothing on your own! This is the folly of the enemy's plan to confuse your thinking. He wants you always to forge ahead and go it alone. Then, when you fail....which is inevitable...you get depressed and upset with yourself and feel alienated from Me (your only source of freedom and power).
Put the enemy on notice! Declare that your very identity is rooted in the Majesty, Strength and Unfailing Love of the One Who destroyed all the works of darkness. Step back and see the One Who has set you in the Light of the Father's Love. This is how you live your life.....one moment at a time...becoming fully the one you were rescued to become. Life in Me is calm...focused on the Father's voice...full of sweetness and love. When you live in this Peace that passes understanding, you have wisdom to BE. Then you understand the meaning of the words of Paul, when he said: "I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me. I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me. I am self-sufficient in Christ's sufficiency".(Philippians 4: 13)
This was true for Paul. It is true for you too! Test Me in this and see if this is not so!! There is no better life!
