BOB PEDEN



We live in an impatient, fast-paced world, where we want everything done immediately, if not sooner. We don't want to wait. We don't want to slow down. We don't want to be patient.



Maybe we need to listen to these words from the book of Psalms in the Old Testament: "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!" Be still. Be still and know that God is God.



Stop. Wait. Listen. God doesn't always respond in four seconds or less. While we won't have to stand in line, we may have to wait much more than fifteen minutes. The Bible says that for God a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like a day. We can't rush him, nor give him a deadline. But he will answer. He will respond. He will save.



All we can do is be still. Be still and know that he is God.

Stop. Be still. And let God be God of your life.
