So, it is already 4:00 p.m., and I must admit I am a little tired. It feels good to sit out here in the Secret Garden for a few minutes before I have to go back inside and start supper! It is very pleasant today...the sun is shining, and it has warmed up into a lovely day.
"Be Still, Pam, and KNOW that I AM God."
Yes, Lord. Although I am a little nervous right now, as there is a bumblebee buzzing around out here, and he keeps looking at me, trying to decide if I'm a flower or something to sting! So, Lord, I hope You will understand if I have to suddenly jump up and get out of here!

| The only picture I could get of this bee, as he was in perpetual motion the whole time...that is why it is kind of fuzzy. |
"Pam, BE STILL, and know that I Am GOD!"
Yes, Lord...I'm trying...but that bee.....
"Pam, Do you trust Me?"
Yes, Lord, I trust You.
"Then please, BE STILL! I am with you.
You do not need to fear the bee or any other creature...
or any other circumstance!"
Read what I've told you through the prophet Isaiah 40:21-23
21. "Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundation of the earth?
22. It is He (GOD) Who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers.
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.
23. He brings the princes to nothing;
He makes the judges of the earth useless."
I think I am getting the "bigger picture" here Lord...
Why should I be concerned about this little bumblebee- when I am sitting in the Presence of the Creator of the whole universe? And why should I be concerned about the future or any other event on the earth...when God has promised to take care of me?
Isaiah 40:27 says:
Why do you say, O Jacob, (PAM!) and speak, O Israel:
"My way is hidden from the Lord ,
and my just claim is passed over by my God"?
28. Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
29. He gives power to the weak,
and to those who have no might
He increases strength.
30. Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
and the young men shall utterly fall,
31. But those who wait on the Lord
shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles;
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint."
Thank You, Lord, for this lesson today. You know everything that is really on my mind...
You understand my concerns...and You have taken the time to show me that You are here with me...and You are in control...even over this bumblebee!!!
Thank you! The bumblebee seems to have lost interest in me now anyway...and I know that I can trust You to take care of everything else in my life as well!

| This picture was from last summer. So glad these bees have something to occupy their time! |
What kind of "bumblebees" do you need to give over to God today?
