| Be Still |

| THE SCRIPTURE |
| “Be still, and know that I am God...” |
| (Psalm 46:10, NIV) |
|
|
| THE WORD |
|
When God created Adam, He put him in the Garden of
Eden, a very quiet, peaceful, tranquil place. That’s where God met him
and spoke with him, in a place of peace.
Today’s life can be very noisy. If we allow it, all of
us can live stressed, uptight, in a hurry and on edge. In the midst of
the whirlwind of activity going on around us, we’ve got to learn to not
let the busyness, the frustration and stress get on the inside of us. It
may be hectic on the outside, but deep down in your spirit, you can be
at rest because you know God has you in the palm of His hand.
Maybe you have been worried for a long time or
stressed because a dream hasn’t come to pass or upset over a challenge
you’re dealing with. Just like God met Adam at a place of peace, God is
saying, “There may be trouble all around, but I am calling you to a
place of peace. Be still and know that I am God. Come to Me, and I will
give you wisdom, strength and grace for everything you face.”
