Be Still

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

Sometimes we can get so caught up in the things of this life. Tasks that seem daunting, problems with family or friends, discouragement and defeated feelings can be overwhelming at times. It's in these times we must learn to be still.

Be still, and realize that we serve a God who is in control. The Lord of Glory is our helper. Too often we try to do things in our own energy. The psychologists say to look deep inside for strength. Nothing could be farther from the truth. As Christians we only need to look to Christ, who is our All in All. He can meet the needs in our heart and life.

I've been thinking a lot about this verse. Just taking the time to be still. It seems like my life has gotten very busy lately and there is value in being still. Knowing that HE is God. Blessed realization.
