PSALMS 46- speaks of troubling times, fiery furnace experiences, roaring seas, crumbling mountains and raging kingdoms. Yet at the conclusion of Psalms 46: lO we hear God speaking: "Be still and know that I am God."

Be Still: means to mediate or pray while you waiting on God. Don't get caught up, but in the midst of your situation, pray and know that He is God, the God of all power. There is a source who is able to deliver and set free in the midst of the messed up situation.

Trials do come to make you stronger, and to depend faithfully on our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. We wonder where is God when it hurts? Being still can even make you feel very uneasy, because of anxious feelings.

Isaiah 55:8 " For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my way declares the Lord. How low can your faith become?

Hebrews 11:6 "And without faith it is impossible to please him (God) for he who comes to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

In being still, Job received double for his trouble (Job 38:40) I'll wait until my change comes. But a wife of no faith and no trust told him to curse God and Die (Job 2:9). Be careful of the so call Christian friends or best friends that you have in your life. They can be a set-up and a set back by you and not by God.

Please commune with God every day, every minute of the day so that you would know him, and know his voice. Be strong in the Lord and know that he is able to bring every promise to pass in "being still". And in the stillness see him as the God he truly is in your whole life.
