The Unlimited I am

“Be still, and know that I am {God}! Psalm 46:10. I love this verse. It says everything about God.

It is my understanding that in the original Hebrew scriptures, the verse actually says only, “Be still, and know that I AM.” I like it better that way. Unlimited. I AM.

Anything we write after the word “AM” seems like a limitation. God is unlimited: all-powerful . . . all-knowing . . . all-present.

Whatever we have going on in our lives . . . He knows about it . . . He has power over it . . . He is with us as we go through it.

So, as we head into this weekend, let us find time to be still, and ponder God . . . God in all His unlimitedness.

God is our Rock. He is our Salvation. He is our Stronghold. He is our Light. He is our Comforter. He is our Everything. He IS.

Psalm 46 begins, “God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!”

As we sit in our stillness and ponder the awesomeness of God, thoughts of whatever challenges we are facing will inevitably creep in, and when they do, let us confront those challenges with the bold spirit of the Psalmist in the verses above, who basically says, “Let it happen, and let us not be afraid when it does because God is our refuge.”

The Psalmist reminds me of an undefeated competitor who looks at his opponent and confidently taunts, “Bring it,” because he knows that he has what it takes to overcome his opponent and win.

Like that competitor, we can boldly say the same thing to our opponent, Satan, “Bring it,” because we know we have what it takes to win the battle. We have the unlimited “I AM.”

Encouraging You to Pray. Everyday. One Prayer at a Time.

Oh hi! I'm Robyn!

As a former attorney and homeschool mom turned writer, blogger, speaker, and self-described Prayer Provocateur, the topic I am most passionate about is prayer. I like to hear what others have to say about it, and I like to write and speak about it. I am a firm believer that the Creator of this awesome universe hears every prayer we pray, but I am also a product of the current times, and I often struggle to find the time to be still and have a meaningful conversation with my Creator. Like many others, I've uttered many fervent prayers as I dashed from task to task in my over-scheduled, busy life, but I really believe that having a time and place to be still and engage in meaningful, unhurried conversation with God results in very valuable benefits that are otherwise unattainable by haphazard, hasty prayers. My heartfelt desire is to encourage and enable you to find and take that time to pray . . . consistently . . . every day.
