Psalm 46 and the BWCA

So I know everyone knows and frequently is pointed to verse 10a of this Psalm. “Be still, and know that I am God”, but I am going to say that I am really at fault of actually doing this at most times in my life. It has been something I have been working on and something I strived to do on this trip to the BWCA. It is amazing what the Lord will teach me when I actually do this.
Now I did just that and I have to say that it was completely amazing to see how blessed we were on this trip. In the midst of his wonderful creation we were completely blessed with weather, safety of travel and the surroundings of animals inhabiting the area with us.
A deeper look into Ps. 46 led me to an amazement of how much it truly applies to our trip. One instance would be to look at verse 8. “Come and see the works of the LORD, the desolations he has brought on the earth.” Here we are in a completely amazing place in Minnesota that has been totally destroyed by fires over the years. As you look around you can see the complete and utter power of fire. Now I don’t know if these were caused by lighting or a human, but last year while we were in the BWCA there were multiple fires around where we were staying all started by lighting. So this is what came to my mind at the time. Amongst this though there was the complete power, strength and freedom of a Bald eagle if you look closely.
While there I was reading and journaling through Romans and 1. Cor. it is amazing to look back at my journal and see what verses stuck out to me those days and the impact they had on me. Journaling though I may initially have not wanted to do it has proved itself invaluable over the past couple years in my walk with the Lord.
I have decided that over the next few entrees I will share some of these verses and my thoughts on this trip in these blogs and use this as an intro to that.
