Burdened by life's challenges. Overwhelmed by surrounding pressures. Moments of anxiety convincing you that "down" is the only direction your life will spiral...
"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10
"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10
This Scripture, so simple and yet so difficult. It's hard for us to wrap our minds around surrendering what appears insurmountable to someone else. Our worry gives us a twisted sense of control and we can't fathom victory in our lives apart from our own efforts. I mean afterall this is BIG stuff we're faced with, but all of the stress and loss of sleep isn't quite working for us, is it?
Be still. Part of the literal translation is "to let drop, let go, release." We need to drop our hands from fruitless, fleshly efforts, let go of the worry that torments our minds, and release it to Him. KNOWING that He is God takes the pressure off of our shoulders to be in control and allows Him to take over supernaturally.
Yes, the giants in our life are big, but God is bigger!
Be still...
