Be Still and Know that I am God

Psalm 46:10"Be still, and know that I am God" is the verse Pastor Rick Warren posted on Facebook today. Although he posted it from an entirely different perspective (he's hosting pastors from all over the world), it still spoke to me this morning.

The amount of information being communicated about the Ranch is overwhelming. There have been numerous newspaper articles and TV news reports, it's hard to keep up let alone decipher what's true and not true. There are people/organizations calling and coming by as they are interested in purchasing the land including the City of San Juan Capistrano. The Mayor was here and is excited about the possibilities. There is non-stop talk between all the employees and guests about what they are hearing. It's so distracting.

I really want to try and "be still and know God is God" and not get caught up in the minutia of it all. God is God and He's going to have His way in the end so all this talk has no bearing whatsoever. These words I'm typing are easy to say (and write) but not so easy to live, especially for a highly inquisitive (nice word for nosey) person like me. But I will pray and ask God for help in this way so that I can focus on what has to get done which are 2 weddings this weekend. These are our only two weddings this month, thank God. This gives us a chance to work out the details of how we're going to make the ongoing weddings happen, especially as the employees start to leave as they are seeking employment elsewhere. Again, God is God and He obviously wants the weddings to continue so we're doing everything possible to make sure brides and grooms have the best memories of their wedding day!
