Be still

Psalm 46:10
“Be still, and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world.”

Be still. What a hard thing to hear, to do in our culture and time. Be still. It's as if God is saying, "Shhhhh......stop for moment, don't say a word, stop moving about. Rest from everything that has you worried, anxious, fearful and overwhelmed. Stop, so I can start."

Be still. Stillness is a foreign concept to most of us. In our lives it's more, faster, longer, and in short order we are frantic with all we "must" do. Be still. Stop for a moment. Get out of the traffic and turn off the engine. God isn't heard in the midst of all the noise of life. He's heard in the stillness, in the quiet moments when we simply stop all the craziness and rest our minds, our bodies, our thoughts.

Be still. It's in that stillness that you discover you don't have to do it all, you can't do it all. It's when you stop trying to rule the world that you find there is a God fully in charge, fully able to take care of you. Be still and know that I am God. Trust comes in that stillness, in that rest when you quit trying and discover God is more that willing to take over.

Be still. Are there still moments in your life, in your day when you discover God? When you know him as God? Is there a calm place where you find him and rest in him? If chaos, frenzy and panic rule your thoughts and emotions God invites you to a new place, a place where you discover him.

Be still.........know that HE is God.
