BE STILL AND KNOW

Psalm 46:10 
Be still and know that I am God;…

I was lying in bed thinking, as you do, and realised once again that inside each one of us is a hidden depth, an ability to tap into the eternal. It’s God Himself who lives in us in our spirits. It’s God’s own greatness which He has put in us and which inspires us or enables us to do whatever He has called us to do.

No wonder He says “Be still and know that I am God”. He’s calling each one of us to just stop and be still in His presence and let His Spirit minister His peace, His grace, His greatness, whatever we need at any given moment into our souls.

What do you need at this moment? Is it comfort? Is it hope? Maybe it’s been a tough year and you need fresh inspiration for the coming year, fresh vision of what God wants for you? Whatever we need, whether it’s spiritual, physical, mental or social, God has promised to be our Provider, to give us all we need and more. But He does tell us to come to His throne to receive. We have to do the receiving!😊

We’re about to step into our new year so let’s decide to leave any disappointments or mistakes, the old fears behind, where they belong.  Instead let’s enter the new year with gladness because the Lord has brought us safely through yet again by His grace and He has good plans for us next year. Let’s step into it with faith, in expectation of seeing God’s goodness.😊

As you draw close to God, see His arms stretched out to receive you, in whatever state you are in, and in His presence let go of anything that brings you down and let Him pour His love like a waterfall into you once again. Know that He is for you, and He goes before you, that He is working behind the scenes on your behalf turning things round for your good. 

He crowns the year with His goodness, And His paths drip with abundance.(Psalm 65:11(Nkjv). Thankyou for Your promises Lord. We receive them by faith in Jesus’ name. Amen.
