Psalm 46:10(NIV)
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
GOD IS ASKING YOU TO GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN SO HE CAN WORK!
My wife will be the first one to tell you that I can cook really well. However when my wife is in the kitchen I have a tendency to get in her way. Most times things flow better for my wife when I am not trying so hard to inject my "help" into her process.
She asks me politely: " Honey please step aside so I can finish what I am doing."
What she really means is: "Will you get on; and sit down somewhere! I know what I am doing and I do not need your help!"
There is no love lost in this seamless transaction that is understood fully by myself with just a simple respectful request and look that is unmistakably firm. And I would be a fool to continue my course of action after what she said has been fully understood.
It is no different with GOD. Believe it or not, GOD is in control. GOD does not rest or sleep. GOD is resting from his acts of creation until the end of days, but he is still in the miracle business and holds the universe together with an unlimited power. Even though we know this as Christians we are still in the Kitchen of our lives trying to help GOD finish the dish of our hearts desire. Instead of sitting back in faith and watching the master at work and waiting to be served the dish of life He is preparing for us, "we" give suggestions and even try to push GOD out of the kitchen." We need to "BE STILL and Know that HE is GOD". GOD is the Master chef of our lives. The word CHEF in French means the "person in charge or Boss" of the kitchen. He is the Master of all Nations, and of all creation. He is able to do all the things that you would consider to be impossible. So I ask are you giving GOD the position of CHEF in your life's Kitchen. If not, please do! And when you do, sit back and watch in awe at the work of the Master's hands.
Remember , I love you always and in all ways.

Too many times we think that God needs our help, that is NEVER the case. When God wants to use us, He will. Until then, we need to stay out of the way.
