Be still
The verse has always, in my mind, been focused on me. I realize I forget to read my own notes. He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” (Ps. 46:10, NIV)

Review: The NIV Study Bible
My big confession: I have never been a fan of study Bibles. I have always wanted Bibles with significant margins so I can put in my own notes.
