Be Still – Be Silent


Psalm 46:10 is a favorite verse for many of us.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations,  I will be exalted in the earth.”

Do we really understand what David is trying to convey here?

Be Still can be taken as a comfort and a warning.

It can mean to be silent. Psalm 23:1-3 says; The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.  He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.

We need to listen to God. We need to rest in the Lord.

Be wise today and always – be still and silent before God.
