Let His Hope Arise

Be still and know….

This is not a literal “be still”, as in freeze, do nothing.

Psalm 46:10 Be still and know that I am God. This means to surrender your anxieties, one translation reads. Another says it like this, “Be still and know, (recognize, understand) that I am God”.

There are things out of our control. There are storms we are facing- maybe you are in one now. Emotions, discomfort, pain, worry, can be overwhelming. I know all these things well, grasping for breath, letting the issues command your day. But today, I want to talk about what to do in the middle of it. When you think you can’t hang on, or maybe your asking will I endure this without breaking?

YES, you can!!

Run to that quiet place. For me it’s putting on my worship, anywhere I can be alone. Then I will choose to fix my eyes, my heart, my faith and put it ALL into and on HIM. Be still, release. HE is not scared of your tears, fears, despair, even your panic. We may not be able to keep the issues in life from happening, the transitions, the uncomfortable, but we can decide to acknowledge that only HE is GOD. In the stillness of acknowledging HE is truly my Father and the one who holds it all- the peace that passes ALL understanding is my portion, things begin shift. Take the situation out of your hands and place them into HIS. Only HE told the winds and the waves to be still. They listened to HIM!

And the peace of God [that peace which reassures the heart, that peace] which transcends all understanding, [that peace which] stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus [is yours]. Philippians 4:7 (AMP)

Sometimes our battle and warfare looks like being still and knowing. There are days that it’s literally all we can do.

Great is your faithfulness to Me! When I don’t understand I will choose to trust. I will choose to Praise and Bless HIS name!

Be Still. In Jesus Name, peace over you, your mind. Restlessness, be still. Anxiety dissipate In JESUS Name.
