Most of us are familiar with the first part of Psalm 46:10 which says…
“Be still and know that I am God.”
But do we actually apply this command?
When calamity comes or chaos climaxes do you truly remain calm and totally trust in God?
Can you let go of your concerns fully to realize the availability and capability of our Supreme Being?
No we don’t. Not always or in all ways. But we should.
As you mature in your faith and relationship with God, you should come into a feeling of perfect security in Him. This is the process of living in ultimate PEACE.
To “be still” requires more than physical motionless and verbal quietness, but life-transforming trust. Trust that the world will keep turning even if you take a break from spinning it. Oh, wait, you don’t spin the world – God does.
Habakkuk 2:20 But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.
To “be still” requires peaceful prayer and silent submission that will wisp you into worship.
To “be still” requires sureness in the Sovereign One.
Zechariah 2:13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out
To “be still” requires a comfort because God is for you, therefore no one can be against you.
Let’s be clear…
To “be still” is NOT being a stone, stupid, apathetic or unconcerned at the commotion plaguing your psyche.
To “be still” is NOT appearing to be unaffected while your heart and soul slowly homepages.
To “be still” is NOT being inactive and paralyzed by fear and fretful.
Don’t be impatient or restless, but be quiet and easy while resigned to the will of God.
Don’t believe the lies of the enemy. Have confidence that when everything else in life is slipping and sliding you KNOW God is unchangeable in His nature, purposes, promises and covenant.
Think of it this way…
Because you know God, you can BE STILL!
