Be Still And Know

Psalm 46:1-11

10 "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."

Bee's Thoughts:

The title of tonight's devotion jumped at me, causing my heart to skip a beat. I know God wants me to "be still and know".

Actually, I just got home from a 2.5 hour long job interview wth a panel of preschool committee. It was my 2nd round with them. I wasn't very sure if I wish to take up the offer since what they could afford to pay me would be about the same as what I am already getting now. Why should I change preschool then? I could see the potential of growth in this preschool I am contemplating to join and the services I could render. The committee would contact me next week as to whether they could accede to my request.

Pay aside, I felt bad to leave my present preschool since this is the time it needs me the most. There is already a shortage of staff due to 2 staff resignations and one going on long medical leave. The worse thing is the preschool is about to have a licensing inspection soon. I am in a dilemma...

It's so comforting to hear God says:

"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth." (v10)

I need to quieten my heart and listen to God, to allow Him to speak to my heart regarding what I should do. The decision I choose should glorify God.


Dear Lord,
Speak to my heart and let me know Your will for me. May I choose the path that You want me to take that Your name might be glorified. Speak to the committee too if You want me to be working with them. Let Your peace be in my heart if that's Your will.

In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
