Be Still and KNOW that I am God. Psalm 46:10, Part 3 of 4
Be Still and KNOW that I am God. Psalm 46:10
Be:
“Be” is reality!
My true spiritual condition, now, not one day when I get to heaven. How I am and who I am on the inside—not how I wish I was or how I pretend to be. How I function in the inner-man; how I respond to things happening around me; how I evaluate my priorities, how I approach my responsibilities.
“Be” is the present state of my heart, the attitude of my mind, the choice of my will. “Be” is the fruit of my faith….surrendered to God, trusting His word, receiving His grace, seeking His glory.
Still:
Be still!
Not—be afraid, be frustrated, be exasperated, be perplexed, be confused. Still with Him, still in Him, still before Him, still through Him, still because of Him.
Quiet. Meek. Hushed. Expectant. Faithful. Surrendered. Ready. Attentive. Willing. Watching. Listening for His voice. Resting in His love. Gazing upon His beauty. Beholding His face.
Not—restless, pacing, fretting, anxious. Still in my plans, still in my work, still in my schedule, still as I wait before Him with a quiet heart.
Still with expectancy, still with thanksgiving, still with worship, still with praise.
Know:
“Know” is the assurance of faith, the nearness of His presence, the communion of His Spirit, the sweetness of His fellowship.
No guessing. No wishing. No, “I think so?” No, “I hope so.”
To “Know” is to know that you know.
Know Him! Know His character; know His nature; know His word; know His voice; know His heart; know His mind; know His will; know His kingdom; know His love.
Know Him through relationship, know Him through companionship, know Him through ownership. Know the heights of His grace, the depths of His compassion, and the breadth of His mercies.
This is my favorite verse and I LOVE what you are doing with it. It gives me even more to focus on.
Thank you so much!
You have no idea just how much this is just what Dr. Jesus has ordered. I will keep chewing on this for a car, very long time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Needed this reminder and refocus!
I just posted again on my facebook, a beautiful picture with this verse on it. God, just turned on the light bulb for me, after many years of believing this verse. I thought I knew it before, after that, I know it in a new way. Then I found this series on it , and am so blessed by it.I love,” Meet Me In the Meadow”. I have been away from it for awhile, but am so glad God brought me back. I guess I let the pain, and cares of the day,get in the way, from me reading this. Please do not let that happen to any of you.
nice
just gotta be still and know that HE is God
I find that “BEING STILL” in HIS presence gives me such peace… and please all who read this know this: the more you are “STILL” with HIM, the more you CRAVE IT each and every day! Thanks so much for this verse to remind us all!
This came at a time when I was worrying so much that I felt like I was going insane. I had to stop and say this devotional was sent to me by God as a reminder. I really needed that reminder and reassurance, I am now refocused and back on track. Thanks
