Psalm 46

"Be still, and know that I am God!
I am exalted among the nations,
I am exalted in the earth."
Psalm 46:10

The great birds of the air don't seem to have a problem being still when they need to be. This Bald Eagle sat on the fence post for over 20 minutes as I anxiously waited for it to fly so that I might get some pictures of it in flight.
Does the eagle know where it fits in God's grand creation? I don't know but it does what eagles do and that seems to be enough.
One of the reminders that I hear when I am still is that God is God and I'm not. It reminds me that I am not responsible for accomplishing God's work. There are times that I get to be apart of God's work but in the end it is God not me that brings the sun forth in the morning and the moon at night.
Being still can be a very humbling moment. It can also be a very freeing moment as it allows me to be me just as God has created me and not as something/someone else.
