About Patty Perkins

Unknown's avatar
I'm Patty, writer of the devotional blog, Beside Quiet Waters. I love writing, reading and taking long walks with my camera. I've been married to my loving husband for 40 years. We have two grown sons, two lovely daughters-in-law, and two amazing grandchildren. I am thankful for a place to share spilled ink, in hopes of encouraging others to find daily hope and inspiration in God's Word.

Be still

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.” (NIV)*

Oh, be still —

know that he is God.

Let doubts reside,

questions cease.

Let disappointments fall away,

regrets die.

Let wrongs be forgiven,

mistakes forgotten.

Let God be God —

on the pedestal of life.
