"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 (NIV)
As children of God, we are not all that different. We tend to lead overactive lives, filled with busyness and activities that seem to have few boundaries themselves. The difference is that, as adults, we have no one telling us to "be still", and slow down. We think; the busier we are, the better it is,...for us and for those around us. Most of us even feel better, just by staying active and over stimulated. Our society not only endorses this behavior, but has, for the most part, created the standards for it. How many of us would like to be known as weak, feeble, or a slacker? We most likely would be insulted by such terms. But God says that we are to "be still," which is defined in Hebrew with such words. God is the One who tells us not to put anything above, or before Him in our lives,...not even our energy levels and activities.
God wants more of us,
...and He wants our undivided attention when we are with Him.
...and He wants our undivided attention when we are with Him.
Father God, it is Your command that we "be still", be weak, and to be at rest before You. Help us to take the time to stop and be still in Your presence today . We pray that other can "know" You as Lord and Savior,...and that you can be with them in stillness and peace. Allow us to be more ready to listen and obey as You call us into alignment with You Will today. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
