Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God.....
When things are ultra busy, especially just now, who or what are we turning to for a bit of peace and calm in the middle of it all? At the end of a busy day sometimes all we want to do is turn the TV on and watch something to 'take our minds off things for a bit', or we turn to our hobbies, a bar of chocolate or a glass of something. They may help for a temporary fix, but that is all they are.
But God, as always, has a better way. He tells us to just sit and be still for a little while and know deep down that He is still our God, He still loves us unconditionally even when we haven't done too well. He hasn't changed His good plans for us and He still is always present with us to help, strengthen and uphold us. He wants to remind us He's ever present to lead and guide us through all the stuff that happens in our day. He is still our fortress and our strong tower.😊
God calls us all to be still for a while whether we're quiet by nature or a busy 'doing' sort of person. His heart is calling to us all because He knows we all need it and He makes Himself available to us all. Our inner man needs God to minister to it and when we don't allow Him to, we can get frazzled at the edges.😊
Can I encourage us all to take five minutes, throughout our day, and at some point a bit longer than that and let God minister His peace to us. We so need Him because He's the only One who can give us what we really need - a God fix. Perhaps sit and listen to a praise and worship song for a few minutes and let it wash over us and into our spirit or read a verse or two of a Psalm which lifts us up. I used to have a friend and she'd say "I'm just going to soak with God for a few minutes." What a lovely thought!
Before we turn to the TV, or whatever we gravitate to, let's turn to the Lord first and let Him do what only He can do and let Him reassure us, put us back together, and bless us deep down.😊
