Be Still
“Be still and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth” (Psalm 46:10).
Why do we have such a hard time being still? Even on Sunday, a day in which most of us could take time for rest and extra focus on God, we are often running around with no time to think or to draw near to God to hear what He would speak to us. Yet how much less stress and anxiety would we feel if we would take time to be still, to consciously focus on God and worship Him from the depths of our being?
The world needs to see that we are different and, in reading the above verse this morning, I get the feeling that if we would be still, be calm in the midst of storms, be at peace regardless of our situation, God will be exalted like never before among those who don’t know Him. They will actually see something in us that they desire. We will finally have something to offer them instead of just sympathy–and it all starts with being still … being quiet … listening … trusting God in everything. It’s harder to do if we are constantly on the run. Why not make time this week to be still and hear what God would speak to you? Then let’s testify to those around us that we serve a faithful God!
