Let be, be still and KNOW that I AM GOD. Psalm 46:10 Let be and be still, and know(recognize and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth! This is not a suggestion. This is a command for the season of life the Church is walking into. There is not a debate. This is serious. It is time to for the Church to grow up. It is time for me to grow up. Jesus is the calm IN the storms of life. The emotional storms, the physical storms, the spiritual storms. There is nothing beyond His grasp. He did not just walk FILLED with the Holy Spirit but He walked in the POWER OF the Holy Spirit. It is time for us follow His example. This was one of the most intense painting situations I have experienced. I painted this Saturday night after the funeral of Chad Everton who died a few days shy of his 17th birthday. He was in our youth group and he is missed. Driving home from the funeral I was asking God what to paint and I felt like God wanted me to paint Jesus stilling the storm. I got home and created my own storm, yelled at the kids about who knows what and was NOT feeling Christ-like to say the least. I locked myself in the bathroom and did the sketch. Always before, I used photos, old paintings or one of my children as a model. This time it had to be me. This was going to be a very personal Jesus. Christ in me and I in Him. Later that evening my daughter calmed the storm and offered to do dishes and laundry so I could paint in peace. I painted late Saturday night on the floor in the living room. All the pieces came together in a very humbling experience. In the midst of my personal emotional storm Jesus reached out to me and told me to BE STILL. And He allowed me to paint a powerful and beautiful portrait of Himself. I love Him so much! while I am typing this one of the kids is taking advantage of me being distracted. The result- a storm, but this time of shorter duration. The enemy is not creative, but his methods can be effective. Greater is He who is IN ME ... May your ears be keenly attuned to the King of the Universe when he speaks, "Let be and be still and KNOW I am God," into your life. In the POWER of the Name of Jesus. AMEN.

Let be, be still and KNOW that I AM GOD.

Psalm 46:10

Let be and be still,
and know(recognize and understand)
that I am God.

I will be exalted among the nations!
I will be exalted in the earth!

This is not a suggestion. This is a command for the season of life the Church is walking into. There is not a debate. This is serious. It is time to for the Church to grow up.

It is time for me to grow up.

Jesus is the calm IN the storms of life.
The emotional storms, the physical storms, the spiritual storms.

There is nothing beyond His grasp.

He did not just walk FILLED with the Holy Spirit but
He walked in the POWER OF the Holy Spirit.
It is time for us follow His example.
