Be Still And Know

“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world” Ps.46:10

Jesus needed to pray to live stress free and you are not greater than Him. You need to pray no matter how busy you are. No matter how busy Jesus got, He made it a practice to spend time alone with God. You need to spend time alone with God. Some of us do not even know how to spend time alone with God. Some of us make up our minds to spend time alone with God. So we get into our rooms and lock the door. Your plan was to spend one hour, from ten o’ clock to eleven o’ clock, but you look at your watch and its just three minutes past ten meanwhile it feels like you have been there for three hours. If you do not know how to spend time alone with God then you need to learn. In God’s Favourite House we have a specialized program called the Journey and the second trip called Deeper with God teaches in great detail how to spend time alone with God. If you are not in God’s Favourite House, then find out what your church has that can help you grow. Also invest in books that can help you because spending time alone with God is indispensible.

So many problems come from our in ability to sit still. We just do not know how to be quiet. We just don’t know how to sit down and be quiet before God. Meanwhile God says, Be still and know that I am God. And because we do not know how to be still before God, what happens is that we do not know God [God is not revealed]. People cannot even enter their car and sit still, even when they are being driven, they have to put on the radio. Something in your mind keeps pushing you to put on the radio so that you can fill your life with noise. Some people cannot even be in their living room and just sit still, they have to put on the television. Have you experienced the urge to just put on the television when you get home? That nagging urge to turn on something so that there can be noise around you. Why? It is because you do not know the act of meditation, the act of just sitting still and know that God is God. You need to learn how to just sit still, talk to God, and know that He is God. Rollo May says, “It’s an ironic habit of man that when he loses his way, he doubles his speed”. It is just disturbing how when we feel lost, or lonely, or even confused, we double our speed to do things or move in directions that cannot really give us life. That is why addiction is so rampant because people want to get an escape. You are lost, be still and let God direct you. It is not a time for motion. It is a time for meditation, be still and know that I am God.

Thought: Spend quality time just talking to God, listening to Him, and know He is God.

Prayer [song]: Be still and know that I am God [3x]. I am the Lord that healeth thee [3x]. Amen!
