Be still and know that I Am God. Psalm 46:10
This is a world of the internet. Any information we need can be found simply with the click of a key. Once we used encyclopedias and libraries. Today, we use the computer to find the answers we need and do it quickly. It has become a world of speed.
In fact, being still is never something most of us think of doing. (How long will this job take us, what can I cook for dinner that takes very little time to prepare and what is the quickest way to get where I want to go.) In this day and age, stress is high and very much a part of most people’s lives!
But God says: Be still! Be still and Know that I Am God. He knows we need to slow down. He knows that Be Still time is important for our physical health and our spiritual lives. Be still helps not only our health, but our relationship with God. Ask yourself often, how well do I know my God?
In this day and age of internet quickness, it has become almost impossible to slow down and know God. Many times, when I go to prayer Be still time is hard to have and maintain. It takes practice and determination. But the God who loves us, the God who gave it all, yes, He wants to spend time with each one of us.
So, in this New Year, let’s begin again and make Be still time a New Resolution – a time to slow down – to again enjoy life and know God!
Be Still and Know
