We usually stop reading at “Be still, and know that I am God.." in the oft-quoted verse, Psalm 46:10. But, please note the remaining words, "I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress." The Psalmist recognised this and even KNOW that his God would just lift His voice and the earth would melt (Psalm 46:6). Contrasting this scene with the scene in Numbers 13:31-33, whereby the 10 men perceived themselves like grasshoppers and the people in the Promised Land as stronger than them. We knew the consequences of their lack of focus on God's ability - their generations except for Caleb and Joshua, had to perish in the wilderness before their next generations could step foot on the Promised Land. What a price to pay! May we be still not to look into our weaknesses or failures or wanting to go back to past "comfort"(Numbers 14:2-4) BUT to focus just on God and His Mighty and Marvelous deeds and abilities! KNOW that HE IS EXALTED, ennobled, glorified, magnified, extolled, revered, honoured and aggrandized! https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC
