Be Still and Know that I Am God

We know this verse Psalm 46:10 is not just about being still. It's not (just) about God telling us to shut it, although, for some people, it couldn't hurt. 😉

The Message translation says it best, I think:

“Step out of the traffic! Take a long, loving look at me, your High God, above politics, above everything.”(Psalms 46:10)

It's about detaching yourself long enough from the madness of every day. Of all stress, worrying, anxiety, work, etc. Take a long look at our loving, kind, holy, and awesome God. Be still long enough to hear His voice and have a conversation.

You know, we all want God to do stuff for us. We need Him to do stuff. Oftentimes we give Him our to-do list and rush back in the day. But how many of us really take the time to sit, to relax, to surrender, to yield, and listen to what HE has to say? I'll tell you, it makes for a much better and more interesting conversation 😉

A relationship is a two-way street. A dialogue.

Be still, He's got you... now let Him be God.

Psalm 46 – Be Still and Know that I Am God

10. Be still, and know that I am God!

1. God is our refuge and strength,
always ready to help in times of trouble.

2. So we will not fear when earthquakes come
and the mountains crumble into the sea.

3. Let the oceans roar and foam.
Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge!

1. God ismyrefuge and strength

2.Iwill not fear
