In a world full of distractions and constant motion, finding stillness can feel impossible. But even in the busyness of life, between work demands, family responsibilities, and never-ending to-do lists, God invites us to pause and be still.
Be Still and Know That He Is God
Psalm 46:10 (NIV) says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
When was the last time you were truly still, not just physically resting, but mentally quiet, spiritually open, and aware of God’s presence? It’s easy to rush through our spiritual routines and check off “time with God” like any other task. But stillness invites us into something deeper.
Stillness Leads to Spiritual Clarity
There’s something powerful about being still. It opens our hearts to God’s voice, deepens our awareness of His presence, and quiets the noise of the world. In that sacred quiet, we are reminded that He is in control, and we are not alone. Stillness doesn’t mean inactivity… it means intentional surrender.
God Will Be Exalted, Are You Ready?
There will come a time when every heart will know who God is, when every secret is revealed and every tongue confesses His name. But we don’t have to wait for that day to honor Him. We can begin now, choosing to worship the One who created us and calls us His own.
