Whenever you are given a command to be kind, be loving, be giving, be fruitful or just to be there, that command is always followed by the word “be”.  Be is a funny word.  It has a meaning of either occupying or existing.  This might not be considered some sort of action, but to just maintain.

I see this word however, as expressing the idea of awareness and presence.  I see the word “Be” to give presence  and awareness to any command especially spiritual.  When God says to “Be still,” He is telling me to live in this moment.  I am to see myself as a part of the Be Still experience.  I am not to just exist,  but I am to give myself to the awareness of who He is.

“Be” makes me a part of that moment.  It brings awareness instead of just “be-ing there. His presence is what I seek, and I want to experience all He may have for that “Be still” moment.

I see the word “Be” as meaning to come alive, to see and experience what He is saying and doing at that very moment.  We are not just to be present physically, but  “be” there and open to the spiritual  life.  Earth I have read is finite, but the spiritual life, life with a mighty Savior, is infinite.  And to experience that infinite moment, we have to “Be”!

“Be” with your God today and see His face and spoken word as never before!

Love,
