Be Still
“Be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10).
Perhaps you are familiar with these words, as well as other encouragements from the Bible to slow down and take time to get to know your wonderful God and Savior. But do you take this invitation seriously? Do you take time out of your busy day to “Be still”?
You will never really get to know the Lord unless you take time to “be still” in His company. This is crucial, as we can only learn of Him and His ways with us in the secret and quiet of being alone in His presence. That is where we learn to view things from His perspective and that is where we learn His heart of love, and His infinite wisdom. Enjoyment of Himself and the blessings He has for us will only come as we know Him better, and we only know Him better as we heed the word, “Be still, and know that I am God.”
There is a hymn that sums it up well:
“Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side…
To guide the future as He has the past…
Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart.”
