Be still.....Shut up and Pray

          Today I was watching my cheese melt to my meatloaf for a meatloaf sandwich.  It is kind of how we are with God whe we are obeying God we tend to melt and change form.  So you would start out as a square piece of cheese but when you are in his word everyday you form into the person he wants you to be.  For instance like when the cheese is in the microwave it melts and forms itself around the meatloaf.  So why can't we be like the cheese in the microwave.  Well we can.  We need to ask God to change us.  God change me and make me into the person you want me to be.  Use me teach me.  Be still and know that he is there.  I have this friend and I like to call this friend Isiah.  Well Isiah said that it is good to just be still and listen.  So I am reading my book The Power of a Praying Wife and as I am reading it, it says to be still and not speak acutally it says "Shut Up and Pray."  It also says it is better to not speak sometimes, and that sometimes when you are speaking it can sound like nagging.  Which by the way doesn't work.  Nagging, hastling, and even speaking doesn't work.  So I need to learn to keep quit sometimes.  And you know what I hate admitting that my friend Isiah is right but they are.  Also as I was reading this in Stormie's book, something came over me and I shut the book because I knew my friend was right.  Well I would likt to say thank you to God and thank you to my friend Isiah.  I want to be the woman and wife that God wants me to be.  But I have got to remember that I can't change things only God can change things because he is in control.  The Bible says, "A fool vents all his feelings, but a wise man holds them back" Proverbs 29:11.  I am the fool right now and i want God to change me into the wise man.  The Bible also says that "Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God.  For God is in heaven, and you on earth; therefore let your words be few"  Ecclesiastes 5:2.  I need to learn when God is telling me to be quit and pray, instead of running off at the mouth that I like to call "Word Vomit."  I have a lot of that.  So God teach me when to speak and when not to speak.  Be still and know that he is GOD!!!
