“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)

According to ESPN, my NCAA bracket is in 15 Millionth place. It seems unlikely that I will win. But, it feels kind of good being in 15 Millionth place. There really isn’t a whole lot of pressure and there is a whole lot of company.

Jesus says the first will be last and the last first, but it is nice being somewhere near the bottom, blending in, attracting no attention. Just to be still and know that God is God, and I am not.

“O God of peace, who has taught us that in returning and rest we will be saved, in quietness and confidence will be our strength: By the might of your Spirit lift us, we pray, to your presence, where we may be still and know that you are God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (For Quiet Confidence – BCP)
