“Be still and know that I am God.”
-Psalm 46:10
Have you ever had a day when you get up and think about all that needs to be done and you don’t even have what it takes to start?
Well, today was an interesting day that won’t be forgotten. I awoke this morning. I got up and went to sit on the couch. I just sat there for about half an hour, just me and God. He knows what’s in your heart and your mind, but many times he wants you to talk to Him anyway.
I got up and couldn’t find my money, so I grabbed my backpack and walked out the door. I couldn’t catch the bus because I didn’t have the money. I walked down Lafayette until I got to 8th Avenue. I went and stood beside Room at the Inn.
I had a quick ticket card in my wallet that I was positive I’d spent all the money off of. But I tried it on the computer anyway and it ok’d me for a ride on the MTA bus. Right then, I looked up and smiled because I knew the good Lord up above was walking along with me that morning.
I caught the bus to my corner. I didn’t have but two papers: an up-to-date issue, and the previous issue. I sat. I waved. I smiled. I continued doing this for about two hours; still, no one bought the paper. So, I stood up and walked under a shade tree across the street. I looked up and said, “Lord, help me.”
Ten seconds later, a lady stopped and gave me money; she didn’t even want a paper. I went back across the street and people kept stopping. I packed up, still with the paper in my bag, and left to catch the bus back home. I guess what I’m saying is I woke up that day and gave everything that had to be done that day up to God, and he guided me throughout my day. It was a splendid day.I’ve decided, from here on out, to be still every morning before I start my day.
