Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth (Psalm 46:10).
In the busyness of life, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by responsibilities, worries, and distractions. Life can hit you full on going 100 miles an hour. There are days when if it rains, it pours, and you think that if it wasn’t for bad luck, you wouldn’t have no luck at all.
These are the times when our God invites us to pause and find rest in His Presence. Be still, is His instruction. Now, this phrase, “be still” is not just a call to physical stillness but an invitation to quiet our hearts, our souls, and our minds, trusting that our God is in complete control.
When we surrender our anxieties and focus on His sovereignty, we find a peace that surpasses understanding. Today, take a moment to be still, reflect on God’s faithfulness, and let His Presence renew your strength. Spend some time in silence focusing on that Presence. Reach out to Him in spirit and feel Him draw near.
Heavenly Father, help me to slow down and rest in Your Presence today. Quiet my heart and mind, and remind me of Your unchanging love and power. Let me find peace in knowing that You are God, and You hold all things in Your hands. Guide my steps and fill me with Your strength. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
