Psalm 46:10–Be Still and Know

Psalm 46:10: "Be still and know that I am God."

Here's a news flash: life is tough.  It is exhausting, stressful, and the swings of emotionality border on vertiginous.  Therefore, it is all the more vital that amidst such an undulating life, a life that is naturally bent on unsteadiness, that we would have a solid rock on which to stand secure and strong.  There is, it turns out, no more solid and stable a rock than the rock of God, which is Christ Jesus.

All this being true and good, it is a necessary thing, then, that when life becomes too overwhelming for us to process effectively that we would pause to realign ourselves to the rock of Christ.  This is what this verse is about.  Let us take it as a prescription when life gets tough as well as when life gets easy, always setting ourselves sure in Christ and in Christ alone!
