Ponderings from our very own Dr. Diana Brevan for today
Dear Partners World Wide, I bring to you my (Dr. Diana Brevan) ponderings this today. May the Lord richly bless you and yours as we go right into to today’s ponderings prayer and the Word.
When Life Tumbles In, What Then?
Psalm 46
New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 46
For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth. A song.
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
In those frightening times when our well-ordered life seems to tumble in around us, what are we to do? God's simple admonition is to "cease striving and know that I am God" (v. 10). The verse is more familiar to many of us in the King James Version as "Be still and know that I am God."
The idea seems trite at first consideration, but when we peel back the layers, we see that to cease striving means more than idly waiting for God to act. In fact, it means trusting that God is in control, no matter what calamity He has chosen to allow in our life. If God is permitting trauma, then there is a purpose behind it. And if there is a purpose, then our suffering has the potential for good. (Romans 8:2 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Also, we have the choice to submit to God's will and whatever He chooses to do. Submission is a difficult response when we are experiencing hardship and pain, because we do not know the end result, and we have no control over the outcome. But if we trust that God is engineering the situation for our good, then we know that submission is our best option.
It is tempting to think that to cease striving is a weak response. Wouldn't it be better to try manipulating the situation so that our pain will end? Actually, courage is required to sit still when everything in us wants to surge forward and change our circumstances. Do you have the courage to trust God to bring about good from your suffering?
