Psalm 46:10 & Hymn 578 Reflection
"Be still then and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, and I will be exalted in the earth." Psalm 46:10, Coverdale This morning (9 October, 2021) I read this psalm, also singing, albeit quietly, Hymn 578 from the 1982 Hymnal. I dare say that God was at work in the such a seemingly mundane and routine part of my day-- though I should do better at not seeing my time with God as a mundane part of my daily routine, or that I can't get my day right without beginning with morning prayer, as my day should have God at the very center.

Such it was this morning that God hit me with a huge reminder that should be so obvious: in a nutshell, that he is in control over all. He has a plan over all that is happening
