Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10
Don't you know? Haven't you heard? The LORD is the eternal God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not grow tired or weary; and His understanding cannot be fathomed. Isaiah 40:28
So maybe, just maybe, I can pick up that old newspaper with hope and joy. He is the eternal God. And I am not. I am not sure whether fasting changes the world around me or just how I see it. How I see Him. But I do know that it is encouraging, as in filling me with Courage.
He will be exalted among all the nations. As in As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. He is at work and does not grow tired and weary. I cannot wrap my finite brain around His understanding. But even the small glimpses of His power, even a single closed fist uncurling and lifting into praise, is far beyond my scope and reveals His glory.
Be still, oh my heart.
