Be still
Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Being still is not just a physical act; it is a spiritual posture. It beckons us to quiet the noise within our hearts, to hush the clamour of our anxieties, and to let go of the burdens we carry. In the stillness, we open ourselves to an understanding, a realization that God is present, sovereign, and in control.
Life's storms may rage around us, echoing the turbulent verses that precede this in Psalm 46. Yet, in the midst of chaos, God invites us to a quiet sanctuary, where we can find peace that surpasses all understanding.
To be still is an act of trust – trusting that God is in charge, that His plans are greater than our own, and that His love is unwavering.
In our hurried existence, we often seek answers and solutions in the noise, in the constant motion of life. However, God whispers to us through stillness, inviting us to a sacred space where we can commune with Him intimately.
It is in these moments of silence that we hear the gentle voice of the Divine, guiding us, comforting us, and reassuring us of His steadfast presence.
To "be still" is a call to surrender. It is an acknowledgment that we are not alone in our journey, that God walks beside us through every trial. When we quiet our hearts and minds, we make room for God to work in ways we may not have anticipated.
In conclusion, let us practice stillness in our daily lives. In the rush of our responsibilities and the clamour of the world, let us pause, breathe, and turn our hearts toward God. In the stillness, we find strength, resilience, and a deep sense of knowing that God is with us, leading us through the storms of life.
God bless you.
