Be Still
Grace and Peace be unto you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
Hello Everyone:
Our text for today is as follows:
Psalms 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
Another common language from the New Age camp is terminology such as “Listen to the stillness in your heart” or “what is the stillness in your life saying to you”? Many of them will reference this particular psalm. But is this psalm really about meditation.
The command to be still in this particular psalm comes from a Hebrew word meaning to be weak, to let go, or to release.
The context of this text then teaches us to let go and surrender because God is in control. It is not instructing us to meditate and then hear a command from the Lord but to live our lives knowing that God rules and has control of everything. To let go and surrender seems to suggest that the person is resisting or fighting against.
I was reminded by this passage today that God is the one that ultimately decides all things. When we surrender to the fact that God is in control then we will release our fears and live in peace. No matter what the condition of your life or this world, our God is still on the throne and everything is safe, all is well and everything is just as it should be.
So be still and know that I am God.
Stay encouraged everyone and don’t forget to pray and read God’s word daily.
