Words from Kay Arthur - Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God. - Psalm 46:10
Be still (Cease striving) - It carries the idea of – stop struggling against, stop fighting; stop trying to figure things out. In other words we are to rest, relax, chill out, drop our weapons and stop fighting!
For most of us it is very hard to be still. When you are struggling with fear and feeling out of control you want to do something. You want to take matters into your own hands and do whatever it takes to “make it right” - in doing so we often find refuge in all the wrong places. We trust in ourselves or others rather than resting in God.
Today, be intentional, be still!
