Be Still and Know That I Am God

In an age of electronics it is possible that we rarely since the “Stillness” of God desiring to commune with us. It is in His Still Small Voice that He often speaks to us. Our World is in the midst of great trouble, anxiety on every side, we need to hear the Voice of the Lord! His Spirit is alive and well, moving in our heart and life, yet we are often not quiet enough to hear Him. I love that Passage of Scripture in Psalms that God seems to quiet our stress and He says to us: “Be Still and Know that I Am God!” On the sea of Galilee the disciples got caught in a raging storm, I’m sure you have read this Account in Scripture, but it never seems to quiet my heart when I read, “Be still and Know that I Am God!” If only we could still our life to such a point that the Still Small Voice of God would penetrate our Spirit in such a way that the calmness of His presence would take control of the issues that seem to beset us. To know that He is our God, He is in control of all the issues of Life and He desires to comfort us with the power of His Holy Spirit! The storm rages and often we feel alone, yet as the Account in Scripture reveals He is there beside us in the midst of the storm. The all-consuming Jesus never leaves our side, He rides out the storm with us and if we will hear His Voice, we will hear … “Peace be still!” Perhaps you have been harassed by the enemy in the night seasons, here is a Passage of Scripture that often comforts my heart:  Psalm 4:3-7 “Know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for Himself: the Lord will hear when I call unto Him. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and “be still.” Selah. Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the Lord.” What are the sacrifices of righteousness?  It is to be in right standing with Jesus, to do the “right thing” trust Him, Worship Him: Be still and know that He is beside you and He will speak to your storm! It is interesting to note the Passage of Scripture that follows:  “There be many that say, Who will shew us any good?” As we see the corruption in our world today and the lack of respect for God, we might have been heard to say such a statement.  But know this, God is in the midst of the storm and His Word to us is “Peace Be Still!” Loving you, Pastor
