Be Still and Know that I am God....

To be still is to trust that what we need will be provided at the time of need---we lack nothing, for God Himself is our provider:  if we need words, He will provide; if we need bread (with or without gluten), He will provide; if we need encouragement, He will provide.

It is a great adventure to "see if this is true," to ask God for what we need and then to wait.  And He is so encouraging to our first feeble attempts to trust Him that it is almost as if He's just been waiting to show us how reliable He is.  And it is so much fun to watch HOW He supplies our needs; He is never dependent on what little resources we have, for according to Scripture, "He owns the cattle on a thousand hills."

But we need to learn to ask with confidence, for James tells us that if we ask without confidence, we will receive nothing.
