Cease striving and know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10
Sit down. Thatʼs right, my friend, sit down!
You have run far enough. You have stood long enough. You have fought, pushed, and manipulated your way for too many years. God has finally grabbed your attention. He is saying, "Quit! Stop! Let Me handle it! Sit there on the hot sands of the desert where you have brought yourself. Look at what lies next to you. It is a well, full of fresh water.ˮ
Soon it will be Godʼs delight to bring that bucket up and refresh your soul. Sit still. Stay there. Be quiet.
Cease all the striving. Relax. Be contented by that well, and drink deeply.
You are thirstier than you realize.
