Be Still & Know

“Be still & know that I Am God”

written by Sandy Blaser, HRN

Those words are ever so dear to my heart….

When I was very sick in bed in Texas, I got a call from Missouri that my Mother had broken her hip. Due to an illness I was unable to travel, so my precious family in Missouri stood in for me. But yet my ole heart was so broken that I could not be there for for my Mom at such a time as this. I was so weak, there was nothing I could do.  So as I lay on my bed, I grabbed my Bible for reassurance and began crying out to my Lord.  And there in the midst of all my fretting I heard these words spoken very clearly…”Be still & know that I am God”!!

Suddenly my room was bathed in such peace and comfort. I felt as if someone had just covered me with a soft, warm blanket, just like my Momma used to do when I was sick. And there wrapped in God’s love,  I began to simply trust in Him, releasing my sweet Mother into His hands.

My Momma came through surgery & recovery beautifully, for the Lord was in the midst of it all!  Later I was able to make the flight to Missouri and be by her side as she went though months of Therapy.  During all of Mom’s Therapy Sessions, she had so much jOy!  And I shall never forget how she ended every exercise saying…”One more for the Lord”!!
