Be still.

As I sit in my usual chair each morning reading God’s word, I’m struck by the peaceful silence.

Silence for some can be frightening. Many fill their mind with mindless chatter from the tv, roaring music or hour long podcasts that clutter their thoughts. Most don’t take the time to just be still.

I crave the presence of God. He greets me each morning; He shadows me throughout my day and He comforts me as I reflect on yesterday.

The verse, “Be still and know that I am God” is one of the most profound verses in the Bible. How can we hear God if we fill our minds with everything else? Take this verse literally and watch how your life is blessed.

Romans 8:31-32 - “What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?”
