"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."

-Psalms 46:10

In the past, I used to turn to this verse whenever I was in distress or upset over something, needing the assurance that no matter the situation, God is God alone. I turned to this verse whenever I wanted to see God as a victorious God who reigned over all the earth.

This morning, God took me a step further than that. He asked what my response to Him would be, knowing that He is God. Would I respond in obedience, wanting to do whatever He wanted me to do and taking up my cross to follow Him? Or would I respond wilfully, stubbornly wanting my own way?
