“Be still and know that I am God.”
This is what I heard from God today. I started praying out
loud and it just poured out, my worries and fears of now and the future. I
didn’t even know I was so worried. So that’s why I’ve been breaking out this
week. When I was finished with my little rant, I thought about asking God to
cure my zits, but I decided to go a bit deeper and asked him to make me content
in my circumstances. He spoke to my heart and said, “Be still and know that I
am God.”
This phrase is not new to me. I’ve read it plenty of times
somewhere in Psalms, but I couldn’t remember exactly where so I looked it up.
Thank you biblegateway.com!
Psalm 46:9-11
New International Version (NIV)
9 He
makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[a] with fire.
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.”
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[a] with fire.
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.”
11 The
Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
God is my defender and my fortress! “Be still and know that
I am God.” No matter what happens God will defend me, and keep me safe. God is
so mighty and he knows where I need to be, I don’t need to worry, just be still
and know.
Love this! Thanks for the great reminders lately, about trusting God, and waiting on Him... it's so difficult to do all the time :( I think if you moved here you would be still :D
