Psalm 46:10 Amp Version.
Let be and be still, and know(recognise and understand) that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the Earth!
What an encouraging Scripture for all of us who find it difficult to be still and quiet before God.
Let be and be still…. means to rest and allow rest to come, allow others to rest, be quiet and be at peace.
Quite often in our home you will find my husband and myself in different rooms. That’s not to say we don’t want to be together but we both know we need to let the other be quiet and allow each other to rest in His presence so that we can be with God.
We live in a society where we have so many distractions and demands on our lives that it has become difficult to take the time to just sit at the feet of Jesus and allow Him to minister to us in a way that only He can.
What is the demand on your life today that is more important than your walk with God?
We need to recognise and understand for our spiritual well being , time spent with Jesus is a daily necessity.
Be still is an instruction …means doing nothing, just allowing Jesus to fill you to overflowing and to bask in His presence… a beautiful place to treasure.
Know that He is God and that He can take the crisis you are in and turn it around for your good and His Glory.
We need to focus on this Scripture today and not just know that He is God but allow Him to be God in our lives.
Give God that time today and be still to hear what He has to say.
It could be a life changing moment.
Verse 11
Goes on to say He is our Refuge ,our High Tower and stronghold.
A refuge is a place of shelter and safety. A place to find comfort.
In times of trouble we all need to turn to Jesus and find comfort there.
There is a verse in the Hymn
What a friend we have in Jesus where it says;
In His arms he’ll take and shield you.
Thou will find a solace there.
Jesus is calling you today to come and spend time with Him as your refuge, you will not be disappointed .
