LET GOD BE GOD!
What FREEING WORDS,
because
GOD doesn't need PERMISSION to BE HIMSELF.
But don't we treat GOD as someone who we can control,
who needs our permission for GOD to be HE who HE already is?
LET GOD BE GOD
are the words of
SURRENDER,
when you
SURRENDER
TO GOD'S WORDS~
"BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD" (Psalm 46:10).
GOD never said~
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT you are GOD
or
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT your relationships are GOD
or
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT your circumstances are GOD
or
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT your feelings are GOD,
because
GOD wants to be
THE GOD
of your relationships
of your circumstances,
of your feelings,
of your
LIFE.
For whatever you make a "god" in your life,
it robs you of
THE STILLNESS OF GOD.
But oh how when the little "gods" of
LIFE
strive to become the BIG GODS in your life,
by taking FIRST PLACE.
FIRST PLACE~
those people, places, and things in your
LIFE
that rule over your
mind and heart,
so that they become
GOD
over
your feelings,
your relationships,
over your circumstances,
over you!
What is your GOD?
What "god" is occupying the space of your
MIND,
that needs the STILLNESS of GOD?
What won't you stop thinking about
that you can't CHANGE, but you BELIEVE that if you keep
THINKING about it, it will CHANGE?
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT GOD IS GOD.
What "god" keeps breaking your HEART
over and over again,
because you THINK you can make it stop
BREAKING YOU,
if you keep the pain inside?
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT GOD IS GOD.
The KING sits on HIS THRONE.
HIS people gather around HIM.
They KNOW that HE is THE KING,
the RULER over the land.
What HE says is the GOLDEN RULE,
because what
HE SPEAKS
is not said to harm them,
but to bring
PEACE
HOPE
JOY
because
THE KING LOVES them so.
THE KING
isn't an ordinary KING
for HE is their CREATOR.
HE ends all of HIS speeches with
a tender touch,
as HE gets off
HIS THRONE
and
kneels down to get closer to HIS people.
And then HE speakes the words,
"BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD".
A PEACE runs through the crowd.
You can't hear a pin drop.
But then the JOYFUL voice of a child,
is heard through the crowd
as the words
"LET GOD BE GOD"
roll off of his tongue.
Oh the FAITH OF A CHILD.
The FREEDOM OF A CHILD.
The PEACE OF A CHILD.
The JOY OF A CHILD.
A CHILD OF THE KING
who
takes to HEART the
SIMPLICITY of GOD'S WORDS
that sets your HEART on fire
to
LIVE LIFE with a STILLNESS
that is not produced by
HOLDING ON,
but by
LETTING GO
to
THE ONE
who KNOWS you way better than you KNOW yourself.
For GOD KNOWS that when you become
STILL enough TO KNOW
that
HE KNOWS
way more than you KNOW,
you will then
SURRENDER to HIS WAYS,
HIS STILLNESS will fill your mind,
HIS STILLNESS will fill your heart,
HIS STILLNESS that is indescribable
that it transcends all understanding.
For when
GOD says BE STILL,
HIS DESIRE is to become
FIRST PLACE
in your life,
and that my friend is why
JESUS
came from a heavenly home on a throne,
to be born in a manger in a smelly stable,
becoming so insignificant as
HE SURRENDERED to HIS HIS FATHER'S WILL~
“For I have come down from heaven,
not to do MY own will, but the will of HIM who sent ME...
For this is the will of MY FATHER that everyone who beholds the SON and BELIEVES in HIM will have eternal life,
and I MYSELF will raise him up on the last day” (John 6).
THE KING sits on HIS THRONE.
HIS SON sits on HIS RIGHT SIDE.
Where are you?
Why would I ever want to have anyone else or anything else
on the throne of my heart,
when I can just
BE STILL AND KNOW THAT GOD IS GOD.
And that is
not my giving GOD permission to be GOD,
because GOD does not need my permission,
but it is my giving
GOD PERMISSION
to sit on
THE THRONE
of my
mind and heart
so that
HIS STILLNESS will RULE over my being.
Have you given yourself
PERMISSION
to LET GOD BE GOD
by giving HIM FIRST PLACE
so that
HIS PEACE
HIS JOY
HIS HOPE
and
HIS LOVE
WILL
overwhelm
your mind and your heart,
so that you will be sitting
"IN THE STILLNESS"
