Be Still

 

     In a busy world, we often find it difficult, if not impossible to find stillness, as we move, as we work, as we plan, as we plug in, as we fill schedules, as we care for our families, as we perform household chores. Life moves along as God calls us to be still

     Knowing Him takes time. Learning to trust Him takes experience. Finding intimacy takes stillness. Even when we are in the midst of something frightening, we can be still and watch Him work.

The Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still. Exodus 14:14

     Are you waiting and watching for answers to prayer? God asks us, once again, to be still.

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Hm. Psalm 37:7a

     To understand just who He is, we are asked to be still.

Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10a

     God is in control. If you are in the midst of a storm, remember, Jesus can calm the waves. He gives us peace.

He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. Mark 4:19

     Be still. Know that He is God. Let Him calm the storms within your spirit. Let Him fight the battle that is raging around you. Be still and wait patiently. When we know Him and His ways, we can rest.

Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, He said to them, “Come away with Me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.” Mark 6:31

Lord,

Your promises sooth our weary souls. We trust You to handle it all. Being still before You brings us calm.

In Jesus name,

Amen
