Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth!”
In this psalm, the psalmist is talking about how when chaos is happening in the world around us, or even to us, we can have peace as we trust in the Lord. We are living in a really hectic day in age… there’s a lot of chaos and negativities in this world. This verse is a bit counter-culture! Our culture wants to resist the existence of God and place ourselves as the ultimate authorities.
Let’s get real: Life’s not about me, myself and I. It’s about God and He’s going to be glorified in the end.
What’s one way we can be more self-less today and glorify God?
When I’m unstoppable, I live each day with selflessness and celebrate God’s greatness.
Pray with me:
Help me, Lord, to do as Psalm 46:10 commands: to be still, and know that You are God. God, you will be exalted among the nations. You will be exalted in the earth! Help me to exalt you in my day. – Amen

I look at the world around me through the perspective of light and darkness, goodness and sin. When you start to examine the world and see that there is beauty and light to enjoy and celebrate, you realize that there is also an alternative side. Ultimately all the bad things that we don’t like, … Continued
In our busy, American culture I find that rest is so overlooked! So often we go, go, go until we end up in complete burnout and are dealing with frustration, discouragement and an over-worked body. I love that the Bible has so much to say about rest. Not only is rest helpful for our … Continued
Looking back on my life up until now, I’m so grateful for the ways I’ve been stretched, challenged and shaped. Three things stand out as the most impactful in this aspect. My faith in God, surfing, and my role as a wife and mom have each made me who I am today in one way … Continued
