Pastor Bob's Wednesday Devotion: "Be Still"

"Be still and know that I am God."
Psalm 46:10

Last week, I used a week of vacation time, and wouldn't you know that I spent most of the week being sick!

This vacation was going to be a "working vacation," which means a busy vacation, and I had a mile-long list of "to do's" around the house. Could it be that busyness was the cause of my sickness?

This morning I was reading in Matthew 20 about Jesus, who after 3 years of demanding ministry, was on His way to Calvary. As Jesus was leaving the city of Jericho with a large crowd following Him, two blind men on the side of the road heard that Jesus was passing by. They cried out, "Lord have mercy on us, Son of David!"

The crowd told the men to be quiet, thinking that Jesus was way too busy to stop and care for two blind beggars.

Do we ever feel our Lord is too busy to help us? Or are we too busy to take the time to be still and know that He is God?

You know what Jesus did.

He stopped and asked the two beggars, "What do you want me to do for you?"

Today, Jesus is asking that same question to you. Will you be still long enough to let our Lord Jesus tend to your needs?

You may not be blind, but you need His touch to cure your busyness!
