Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and
know that I am God."
Be still with your Savior, for it positions you to see and hear God. Be still and reflect; Be still and think; Be still and pray; Be still and enjoy your family; Be still and see things more clearly. Being still is an investment that pays into eternity. Stillness aligns our hearts with Almighty God. It is in our expressive stillness that we muse on His grace.
Yes, there are seasons of busyness. An infant requires intense attention. A move to another home involves significantly increased activity. Launching a business or a ministry is an all-consuming affair. Starting something new most likely means you are extremely busy. However, do not use your busyness as an excuse to ignore God. Push back from your fatigue that comes from forgetting to be still. In your busyness, you can still carve out time with Christ to be still.
Lastly, fill your stillness with the significance of knowing God. God grows bigger when you slow down and rest in the shadow of His stature. It is in your stillness that you see the unseen activity of the Almighty. Stillness shows you what your Savior is up to, and gives you a lively hope. Stillness is God’s way of working with you.
