"Be Still, and Know that I am God . . . "   PSALM 46:10 KJV

One of the most awesome commands that God gives to man is, "Be still" (Psalm 46:10).

When our activities are accomplished through our own fleshly striving, it prevents God from showing Himself strong in our lives.  This doesn't mean we're supposed to be passive or lazy.  It means we are to do whatever God leads us to do, without running ahead of Him in the energy of the flesh.

We need to be careful to submit our ideas and plans to God, then slow down and wait.  Make sure there is a sense of peace to go along with the plans and ideas.  Ask the Lord for His will in your life, then be still and know that He is God.

Learn to trust the Lord without having to know what He is going to do, when He is going to do it, and how He is going to do it.  Just let Him do it.

If you will turn your heart toward God in loving trust, He will do what needs to be done.  God gives His highest and best to those whose trust is in Him.

Be still and let Him show Himself strong in your life.
