BE STILL AND KNOW

Psalm 46:10 AMP Be still and know (recognize, understand) that I am God….

The world finds it very hard to be still, with people rushing here and there. There’s noise wherever we turn and many people don't seem to like quietness or silence because they’ve been raised with noise, or is it because they don’t want to stop and think? I don’t know.

But God’s ways are not our ways and I’m reminded everyday by this plaque on my wall where He tells me to ‘Be still’. He knows that until we’re willing to just be still, to turn off all the distractions, we’ll probably find it hard to hear what He’s saying, to hear His words of wisdom or guidance or comfort when we really need them.

Just lately I’ve heard myself saying “I don’t know” so many times! But God has told us something we can know beyond a shadow of a doubt, and it goes above every ‘I don’t know’ we might have. He says to know that He is God. 

You see when we know that, then we’re secure, regardless of how much else we don’t know!😊 When we know that God is still God, that there is no one more powerful, we have Someone to go to, we have security in the storms that blow, we have an anchor for our souls so we won’t drift into fear and doubt.

Being still is obviously necessary or He wouldn’t command us to do it, so whether you’re so busy at work, or at home, at different times throughout your day, just take a minute or two and be still. Practice listening and know He’s whispering how much He loves you and cares about you. Recognise and know that our God is the everlasting God, He is all knowing, the All Sufficient One who is not only upholding the universe, but He’s holding up you and me as well by His great power.

When we do that, as we go into our new week, we’ll ‘know’ we’re more than OK, because He loves us, He’s in control, we have His Holy Spirit to help us, and He is for us not against us.😊 Thank You Jesus!

Psalm 46:1-2 NLT God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear….
