It's Me Again God

41. Be Still

It's me again God,

Today is one of those special days when I hear You calling me to 'be still'. I'm good at being busy! I get plenty of practise 'doing' and 'thinking' but I know I just need to stop and be still and know that You are God. It makes a huge difference when I do this! Quieten my mind as I spend these moments with You, just enjoying Your Presence, remembering who You are. When I take time to magnify Your Name, all of my troubles seem so small!

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day.

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire. He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭46:1-11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Thank You Lord for this Psalm in Your Word that helps me take my eyes off me and my troubles. Thank You that despite what is going on in the world around me, I am safe with You and I do not need to fear. Thank You that I can be sure that You are with me right now.

Hallelujah!
Amen.
