There have been times my stress level has been so high I seriously needed to go somewhere very quiet just to concentrate on being calm. Anyone else been on the merry-go-round called life and it never stops? It seems more like our schedule controls us than we control our schedules.
It doesn’t help knowing the world continues in toxic behavior. Things that could be used for good are used in some of the most hateful ways. Ex: social media, money, positions, etc.
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
Psalms 46:10 NKJV
It seems like this year I’ve heard God say: “Be still” over and over again. If you grew up in the 90’s the translation would be “Stop, collaborate and listen”. 🎧
The chaos of the world can seem so loud and moving so fast we don’t know how to be still. We can’t hear through all the events going on around us.
Scripture says “be still”, but it also says “and know”. What do we need to know?
*When the results of the test are bad…He is God.
*When the money runs out…He is God.
*When we’ve overloaded our plates….He is God.
*When a loved one has passed…He is God.
*When that friend hurts you…He is God.
*When relationships are in trouble…He is God.
*When there is addiction…He is God.
*When the waters are troubled…He is God
When you’re going through it, whatever that may be, be still. Realign yourself with Him. Once you realign yourself you will be able to hear better and receive direction.
He is God through it all and will sustain each one of us. We have to Stop. Collaborate. And Listen.
