BE STILL
“He says ” Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Psalms 46:10 NIV
Between work and home, family and friends, full schedules and unending tasks, it’s tempting to hurry through our days without even stopping to look up.
But, speaking through the psalmist, God said:
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Psalms 46:10 NIV
When was the last time you were intentionally still (and not just when you were sleeping)? When was your body and mind quiet enough to acknowledge that God is God?
Regardless of the past, what will you choose today? You can close this app, check “time with God” off your to-do list, and continue on with business as usual. Or, you can allow the knowledge and truth of God to bring peace to your restless heart.
There’s something about stillness that compels us beyond ourselves. There’s something about stillness that heightens our awareness of and need for God.
It’s one thing to acknowledge God with our words, but another to put Him above every other good, bad, and distracting thing in our lives—to live in a way that honors and magnifies Him.
There will come a day when, ready or not, God will reveal Himself fully. There will come a day when, willing or not, every secret will come to light. There will come a day when, like it or not, He will be exalted above the nations and honored throughout the world.
But you don’t have to wait to worship Him. You don’t have to wait to call Him your God. You don’t have to wait to make Him the Lord and King of your life.
You can be still —right now—and know that He is God.
SHARE YOUR FAITH
As you embrace the stillness and quietness of God’s presence today, listen for the person He is putting on your heart. Also pray for that person, and ask God for an opportunity to be a light in their life.
LET US PRAY!
You alone are all knowing, God. Your presence and powerfulness; You created the heavens and the earth, sun and moon and all creation. All people will come to know Your glory and goodness. Please help me to submit my will to Yours so that I can fulfill the prpose You hace created for me. In Jesus’ name. Amen!
