*Two Little Messages from God

Every Day: A Fresh Start | Be Still and Know

 Today is very hot day in an interior village. We were attending a meeting where the speaker was sharing about having a fresh start with God — learning to hear His voice, reading His Word, and beginning each morning with prayer.

As the heat increased, one little boy became restless, running around. Finally, he sat in front of me. Suddenly, I noticed the words written on the back of his shirt:

“Every Day Fresh Start.”   ( photo below) 

What a beautiful reminder! While we were listening to a message about beginning afresh with God, those words were right in front of my eyes.

But God had another surprise for me.

From the pulpit, the Word of God was shared:

“Be still, and know that I Am God.”
— Psalm 46:10

A little girl then came in front of me. We had met her some years ago when her birth itself was a testimony of God's goodness. As she stood there, I noticed the words written on her T-shirt:

“Be Still and Know.”      ( photo above) 

I was amazed!

We were in a very remote village, among people with very limited exposure to English. Yet, in the same meeting, two children carried two messages that perfectly echoed the Word being shared.

One said, “Every Day Fresh Start.”

The other said, “Be Still and Know.”

One reminded me to begin afresh with God every day. The other reminded me to be still and recognise who He is.

Perhaps this is a message for you, too.

Are you longing for a fresh start? Have the burdens of life made you restless? Are you struggling to hear God's voice amid the noise around you?

Come back to His Word. Begin your day with Him. Make room for prayer. And when life becomes overwhelming, pause and remember who your God is.

Sometimes, we need a fresh start. Sometimes, we simply need to be still.

Those two little children became living reminders of God's truth today. What a joy to see how ordinary moments can touch our hearts and turn our attention towards the Almighty!

Thank You, Lord! You are the living, Almighty God. You can use even the words on a child's T-shirt to remind us of Your truth.

Every day, a fresh start.

In every situation, Be still and know that He is God.

Perhaps these two messages are just what you And me need today.
