It's going to be a long year. It's the second day of school and I'm exhausted. After reading the syllabus for each class, I feel overwhelmed. The pace in which I will be required to read material is new territory. In all this, I find myself worrying about the coming semester and beyond. This semester has career implications written all over it. However, I was reminded of the same verse that got me through similar feelings during finals week the previous semester.

Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."

The way that my devotional book interpreted this was think of it as "Relax, and know that I am God." God is ultimately in control and I therefore have nothing to worry about. Extremely comforting to know. My response to the trials and hardships to come should not be a feeling of defeated but rather to turn to God and continually seek His face in the midst of everything. With that said, that doesn't mean that I can slack off and do whatever I want. Time to go back to orgo homework...
