In the still – February 26, 2015







Psalm 46:10     He says, "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

Habakkuk 2:20      But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.

Zechariah 2:13      Be still before the LORD, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling."

Zephaniah 1:7     Be silent before the Sovereign LORD, for the day of the LORD is near. The LORD has prepared a sacrifice; he has consecrated those he has invited.

We live in a society that requires all of our attention to be focused on little screens….we’ve gotten to be proficient and multi-tasking. Training yourself to be still is not considered to be a viable life skill…I want to take you to task on this way of thinking….to be still is the ONLY life skill!


 It may appear difficult to learn how to wait in quiet with a patient heart, the flesh is a noisy beast and very difficult to bring under subjection but if you learn to do so, your efforts will be rewarded. We then learn that we become at peace and then we look forward to the communion with God in silence.
