It seems like most weeks to choose a scripture, I'll have one I've seen while reading my Bible, a Christian magazine, book, website, etc. This week I was sick Friday night and Saturday night. Not during the day, just in the evenings. Carson was sick too, and we both had fevers. It was strange! I feel better today, but we decided to take it easy to make sure we didn't overdo it. I think I definitely over-did it for our yard sale, because it was SO hot! Like 91 degrees! I thought it was fall. Anyway, as I was laying on the couch wracking my brain for a scripture, the Lord sent one to me! Don't you love when God sends you a sign? Here it is:
"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10
It really struck me, and it was so funny that he would place that one on my heart today. Dustin and I had just had a long conversation about me being sick and how he thought it was because we run, run, run too much. I was feeling guilty for not taking the children to church and the fire department today for the open house. He reminded me of how we needed to take care of our health first, and also how blessed the children are. They do way more than so many kids. Missing this one day of stuff will be okay. It will! (I keep telling myself that!). I think God is trying to tell me through scripture and through my body that I need to slow down.
I feel like to me, this scripture is saying to stop, and know God is there and in control. He can handle everything and is always with us. We don't need to do it all ourselves. Also, quit being so busy that we forget about him, because he IS there.
I don't know about you, but it was JUST what I needed to hear this week. :-)
Have a blessed week!
