Be Still

Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Be still...something that most people, even Christian, do not like to do today. It seems that every day everyone is in a hurry to do this or that. Everyone is busy doing this or that, and the result is that we either get too busy to spend real time with God, or we "speed" thru our "quiet" time with Him, and completely miss those moments when He is telling us to be still. This is especially important during times when we are experiencing anxiety, and stress, because of troubling or difficult circumstances. One of the things that causes us the most worry, and anxiety, is when we take on areas of our life that God desires to take control of. Those areas where He wants us to trust Him, and exercise our faith, but we're too busy trying to "fix it" ourself. The end result is usually that God allows us to be in situations that are impossible for us to resolve on our own, situations out of our control. The choice we have to then make comes down to, we can either stress ourself to the point of breaking down (emotionally, physically, and mentally) or we can trust God, pray, and be still. If we do the latter, the end result will be that we will see, and experience, God do what only He can do, which builds our faith, and serves as a blessing in our life. Ultimately, it becomes a wonderful testimony for us to use to exalt God before an unsaved world, and encourage other born again believers to trust, and worship, Him.
