"THOUGH HE SLAY ME!"

Today was to be "The DAY"!  I have been claiming Exodus 14:14 ("The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.") for months as a deadline at the office nears.  I was  giving GOD plenty of time to work things out.  Then, I was going to "do it myself"!   

But this morning I awoke to this message from a friend who, to my knowledge, knew nothing of my thoughts.

Many who know me will testify that for me to be still IS to hold my peace!  GOD works miracles though.  HE caused me to be real "quiet" in 2007.   I was moved to Psalms 46:10 as a testament.  "BE STILL" and know that I am GOD is more than a verse in the Old Testament to me.  GOD has shown me that the reason we don't hear from HIM like they did long ago is we have so much "NOISE" distracting us.  We cannot hear from GOD when the television, iPad, iPhone, MP3, or any number of other items are demanding our attention.  A wise friend of mine once said "We try to be MORE than GOD intended us to be!"  

 GOD doesn't need our wealth, fame, position, nor anything else.  HE desires our praise and submission to HIM!  The writer of Ecclesiastes 12 says in verses 13-14 "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the WHOLE duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."

I will wait on HIM "though HE slay me" (Job 13:15) for my sustenance.  Philippians 4:19 says "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
