"Be still, and know that I am God

The Psalmist wrote in Chapter 46 verse 10, "Be still, and know that I am God." This was a verse I read today in my quiet time. So I was still and look at the nature around me. I watched and thought about how God causes the waves to crash against the shore and at the same time he causes me to breath. Nothing happens without God causing it. It is the same that only God can cause someone to come unto him. I have been thinking about the predestination of people to Heaven or Hell. Since God is not bounded by time and the fact that he knows everything. He knows everyone that will be saved. Although we have free will, God's knows every decision that can be made and knows the outcome.

But more than that God has already predestine people, he is still in control of everything and it is when we are still among our life and focus on what he has done for us. This is when we know that he is God.

SO be still and know that God is in control about everything.

Grace Gem

Here is a Grace Gem from 2 Mar. You can get Grace Gems at GraceGems.org

The chief danger attending a state of prosperity, is that it strongly exposes us to the temptation of becoming "lovers of pleasures, more than lovers of God," 2 Timothy 3:4. This danger is considerably increased, when people have been introduced into mirthful and fashionable circles. People in such circumstances may be said to stand on the brink of a dangerous precipice. They run the greatest risk of being drawn into a vortex of folly and dissipation, in which all sense of piety is likely to be swallowed up.

The Last Couple of Posts, Gone into Draft Status.

After reading a post about discernment on James McDonald's Blog (read it here). I decided to remove the last couple of posts. After thinking about why I wrote them (I still think that they are correct), it was not in the interested of the spirit but because of my human sin. I still think that Christian music has gone astray but my post would more on the lines of dividing and not a solution for the problem. The lent post is again about the a problem I think exist in the church and again it was because of my own sinful nature that the post was not in good taste to edify the church. Sorry about creating division.
