Drop Your Hands

October 6, 2012

You’d think I would have my mother’s fingerprints embedded in my knee from all the times she squeezed my leg in church and whispered in no uncertain terms, “Be still.” Like any boy, I had a bad case of the wiggles in places like church. So for years, when I read, “Be still, and know that I am God” (Ps. 46:10), I thought of it in terms of not being antsy.

But the Hebrew word for still means “to cease striving.” It’s the concept of putting your hands down and letting God intervene in your situation without your interference. This word picture is interesting, since we often use our hands to push things out of our way, to protect ourselves, or to strike back. When we drop our hands, it makes us feel defenseless and vulnerable—unless we can trust that “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble” (v.1), and that “the Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge” (v.7). In other words, stop struggling and wait on God to do His work!

In the face of all of life’s circumstances, we can know the peace of trusting the presence and power of God in the midst of trouble as we wait patiently and prayerfully for His deliverance. So drop your hands, for God’s hands are busy on your behalf!

Be still and know that He is God
For pathways steep and rough;
Not what He brings but who He is
Will always be enough. —Anon.
When we put our problems in God’s hands,
He puts His peace in our hearts.

Read: Psalm 46

Be still, and know that I am God. —Psalm 46:10
Bible in a Year:
Zephaniah 1-3

I had a volunteer bush show up in my rose arbor, it is very prolific, it was kind of slow during the hot months, but now, I can’t eat them fast enough so I freeze them. If you pick them slightly green they are ripe the next day, I picked nearly 2 quarts yesterday off the 1 bush. Most just the right bite size and oh so tasty and full of Vit C and fiber.

I HATED doing paper work, had to fill out a bunch of forms for the Ortho, took me days to do it. Plus round up all the MRI reports.

Raise your hands, reaching up to the LORD God! Praise, honor, adoration, worship, humbly asking for forgiveness and mercy, is the attitude each of us will find is one of our gifts to God Almighty. The LORD is so far above us, like John the Baptist said ... ‘I am not worthy to unlatch his sandals’.

Luke 3:16:John 1:27:Mark 1:7;
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Father God help me to be worthy of thy grace bestowed on me daily, in Jesus name, amen.

Subject: One Minute Each Night

>
> I have heard that a large group of people are going to start 40 days of fasting and prayer starting this Friday, September 28th.

> ONE MINUTE EACH NIGHT
>
>
> This is the scariest election we as Christians have ever faced. We all need to be on our knees.
>
>
> Do you believe we can take God at His word? Call upon His name, then stand back and watch His wonders unfold. This scripture gives us, as Christians, ownership of this land and the ability to call upon God to heal it. I challenge you to do that. We have never been more desperate than now for God to heal our land.
>
>
> 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV
>
>
> ‘If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.’
>
>
> During WWII, there was an advisor to Churchill, who organized a group of people who dropped what they were doing every night at a prescribed hour for one minute, to collectively pray for the safety of England , its people and peace. This had an amazing effect, as bombing stopped.
>
>
> There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America . The United States of America , and our citizens, need prayer more than ever!!!

If you would like to participate, each evening at
9:00 P.M. Eastern Time (8 PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific),
>
>
> stop whatever you’re doing, and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States, our troops, our citizens, for peace in the world, the upcoming election, that the Bible will remain the basis for the laws governing our land, and that Christianity will grow in the U.S.
>
>
> If you know anyone who would like to participate, please pass this along.

>
> Someone said if people really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer, we might be speechless. Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.

“Be still and know that I AM GOD for I AM with you always!”

> Please pass this on to anyone who you think will want to join us.
