Does anyone else do the Christian version of a timeout? 😂😂😂
“Be still and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10
As class was coming to an end, lining up was a little rough. We had a few antsy kids, and the perfect Bible verse came to mind.
I told the kids that sometimes, especially when you become an adult, things get out of control and we try to fix everything, control everything, or hold onto things we were never meant to control.
Sometimes we just need to be still and remember that God is in control.
It doesn't mean for us to do nothing and expect great results… but it means that we don't let fear, anger, or circumstances convince us that God has lost control.
Sometimes we do what we can and give it to God, and trust Him.
And that's one of the beautiful things about Scripture because it can speak into so many different situations depending on what season you’re in.
Now, I told the kids this isn't exactly what Psalm 46:10 means theologically… 😂
But when my kids can't sit still…
I put them in the Christian version of a timeout and tell them:
“Be still, reflect on Jesus, and find your peace.”
I told the class they better learn to “be still and find Jesus,” or else nobody was going anywhere!
Man, I was so ecstatic to see so many of those kids already knew Jesus, because they found Him QUICK! 😂😂😂
