Weekend May 19-20th
It has been pretty quiet on the home front. I've been seeking the Lord, yet it seems to be one of those Psalms 46:10 moments (Be still and know that I am God). The New American Standard says it like this, "Cease striving and know that I am God.." Cease striving in the Hebrew means "Rapha"- to sink, to relax, to let drop, to let go. Wow, easier said than done sometimes huh? Yet, in the midst of a sabbatical I am learning or shall I say "being taught" what it means to "sink, relax, let drop and let go." There are things in my life that I must "sink;" in other words, to not bring up to surface again. I must learn to relax and trust that God has everything in control! I must learn to "let drop", meaning, what has been done or said, I must learn to allow God to be my ultimate avenger! Thus, I must learn to "let go", and recognize that without a shadow of a doubt, whatsoever I let go of will no longer be "baggage" to me. Thus, allowing me to be a more effective servant for my King! Not bad for a weekend. Until next time- Pastor Sammy

Every Sunday morning as I drive my 27 miles of silence (no radio in the truck) I am alone with my thoughts. And every Sunday, I have am reminded of a single event on a certain day on a stretch of I-20 while passing thru Grand Prairie. Every Sunday. Without fail.
When you talked about letting things 'sink.' I immeadiately thought of those Sunday drives. Often, as you said, some things are hard to let go of.
'Sink' is a good word. Perhaps I need to approach from the other direction. "Knowing that He is God ... really KNOWING ... so I CAN be still."
Thanks for sharing. You teach me with your life.
