The July 2025 Refreshing Daily in God’s Word will be the last issue of the devotional. Pastor Michael Rouse retired June 29, 2025. At the present time, Mountain View Baptist Church does not have anyone to continue this ministry.
We appreciate all the support and prayers that you have given for this ministry since 2007 when it first began. We pray the devotionals have been a blessing and have brought you closer in your walk with the Lord.
In the future, the Lord may allow the devotional to return. In the meantime, we are asking for your prayers for the man that God chooses for our church.
Thank you and God bless you!
Bible Reading: Psalm 46
Key Verse: Verse 10 - “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
In our hurry-scurry life when we run hither, thither, and yon and never seem to have any time for hearing...I mean really hearing God...we often find ourselves frail and weak, not only physically but spiritually. Our key verse reminds us of the importance of being still, having a time of calmness for our soul when we listen to God.
Before refrigerators were invented, icehouses were used to preserve food. These icehouses had thick walls, no windows, and a tightly fitted door. Large blocks of ice were obtained during the winter and covered with sawdust to prevent melting. This would allow the ice to last well into summer. One day a man lost his valuable watch while working in the icehouse. He and his fellow workers diligently searched for the valued timepiece without success. A small boy heard of the problem and slipped into the icehouse. He soon emerged from the cold with the man’s watch. The men were amazed and asked the boy how he found it. He said, “I closed the door, laid down in the sawdust, and kept very still. Soon I heard the watch ticking.” From the cool darkness of this dated icehouse comes the timeless reminder of Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God.”
