Be Still And Know

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

Perhaps you are fretting over how to pay the next set of bills.  Maybe you are too busy playing with your iPhone to notice the 'real' life going on around you.  Or perhaps your days are so filled with activity and stress that it would seem like a tremendous tragedy for there to be a moment of genuine quiet.  Whatever your circumstance, I am sure that this verse speaks an enormous truth just as true as when it was first written.

There is no doubt that life is full of bustling and noise.  And the loud hurry of it all is surely capable of overwhelming our existence.  This is why so many look to a constant stream of distraction or inebriation; anything to take the edge off and prevent our eyes and ears from seeing and hearing the profound, shattering truth:

God is.

Because of this, I urge you today to take time, a moment or an hour, to be still and know.  Turn everything off and listen.  Listen for the still, pleasant whisper of God's voice as He calls out to us. Just be still and know that He is God.
