The Real Story of Potoos
From the NIV Bible:
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
(Psalm 46:10)
My soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
(Psalm 63:8)
When a potoo perches upright on a broken branch and holds perfectly still, its mottled feathers blend into the bark. You could look right at the bird and think you were seeing part of the tree. That quiet posture reminds me of God’s invitation to be still before Him when life feels unsettled.
David wrote Psalm 63 in the wilderness. In that dry and weary place, his soul clung to God, and God’s right hand upheld him. While we stay still and cling to Him, we can trust that He is holding us.
Sometimes being still means pausing to pray before we rush to fix what’s troubling us. Sometimes it means waiting for direction while continuing to do what God has already shown us. Even while we wait, His hand upholds us.
Something to Ponder! 🤔
Where do I need to be still today and trust that God is holding me?
