Are you fretting today about your circumstances, the unknown, the troubled waters all around you? May I encourage you today to "Be still".
Settle my restless heart oh God, looking to you the author and finisher of my faith. You are my rock in the storm, my shelter, my deliverer. Hold fast to that which you know, not looking to the situation, but to your Savior. He is the first and the last. Nothing outside of his will can happen to you. If he is allowing it, it serves a purpose. Trust him today and be encouraged to be still, while you wait and trust in his soverignty. Blessings from afar. Listen to his voice and be encouraged today.
“Shall he not also with him freely give us all things?” Paul reasoned (Romans 8:32). Psalm 46:10 encourages us to reflect on what God can do in the face of what we are unable to do.
Spiritual serenity, the psalmist admits, ought to be cultivated in spite of the shaking mountains and agitated waters. This spiritual calm, that God commands, does not come from a lack of troubles; it derives from a steady, deep reflection on the ways God has intervened in history on behalf of his people (cf. Romans 15:4).
So as your world crumbles around you, the call from scripture is: do not flinch in faith in God. Stand still — not because of a self-made confidence, not because you are the most composed person in the face of disaster, not because you have seen it all, but be still because of what you know about God.
It is “God’s past” that provides calm for “our future.” Know that he is God! Know it, not merely intellectually, but practically, spiritually, and emotionally. He is your God. He is the ruler of kingdoms of this earth and the all-powerful Creator of the Universe.
