Be Still Know I am God Psalm 46:10

10Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. 11The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.



When difficulty comes we want to get up and do something. It is very difficult for most of us to sit down and wait for someone else to do something to make things better. God wants us to learn to depend on Him in all things and at all times. His instruction to David and to us is to "Be still and know that I am God." He did not say, "Be still and do not do anything." However, God wants us to learn to wait upon Him, trusting Him and depending on Him to be God in our lives. God wants us to learn to depend on Him in every situation we will ever face.

When we still ourselves and "know that He is God" what we do is allow our faith to take over in our lives. David could have written, "Be still and know that I am everything that I say that I am and I will do everything that I say I will do." The real key to the meaning of this verse is in knowing God, which is to allow Him to be who He says He is and do what only He can do.

When we allow Him to be God in our lives, He is exalted among the heathen and He is exalted on the earth. People will see His mighty hand in our lives because we have been still and allowed Him to do things in us and with us that only He could do.

We need churches today that are willing to "be still and know that He is God." We need individuals who are willing to be still and know that He is God in their lives. For the Lord of Hosts is with us and the God of Jacob is our refuge. He will do all that He has planned to do for us if we will just allow Him the opportunity to do so. God is looking for men, women, boys and girls who will be still and know that He is God. He is looking for individuals who are willing to stand up and step out allowing Him to direct their lives and make a difference in the lives that they live. Then and only then will He be exalted before the rest of the world.

Will you today "Be still and know that He is God?" He will lift you up and He will bless your life and He will make you a blessing to Him and to those that you love and those who love you. He will be exalted if you will just give Him the opportunity that He so much desires and deserves.
