Psalm 46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Father God, we hear you calling us to moments of stillness and rest before You. In the midst of the hustle and bustle of life, the turmoil all around and the dangers that sometime loom so large; You tell us to “ be still and know You are God” (Psalm 46:10). In other words we should seek rest in Your will; and acknowledge You as the Sovereign God and Ruler over all. We don’t have to fix and figure everything out; we can cast our cares upon You. You are worthy of all our trust.
Master, You are unchangeable, all-powerful and all wise. You rule the heaven and earth. And nothing is hidden from You. You control the minds of kings, turn the tides of oceans, and guide the direction of the winds. You keep the sun and stars shining in the sky; and the mountains standing on the earth. Lord, without Your divine order and majestic rule, it would all collapse. Yet You take time to care for each of us as if we are Your only child.
Gracious God, You provide shelter for us in the heat of the day and hold us in Your arms when life is overwhelming. In the middle of all life’s dilemmas, please help us to trust You; and find sweet rest in the quiet awareness of Your unfailing love. Let us learn to be silent and enjoy the blessing of peace in Your presence. Glory! In Jesus Name. Amen.
