Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
Being still is one of the hardest things any of us will ever be told to do by God.
You would think that sitting still would be easy. You know; just sit there and don’t move. But that is really hard for most of us to do.
Why? Because our minds like to try to figure things out. We like to know what’s going to happen. We don’t like surprises or the unknown. We like to be in charge.
For some of us, we just have a hard time waiting. We know something is coming. But we don’t know how or when. And it makes us antsy; we can’t sit still. Some of it is due to excitement. Some of it is due to not knowing what else to do. So we just want to move… do something!
But this is where we’re tested. This is what can make or break some of us. This is where we learn how to listen and obey God’s voice, even when it might seem like we’re not hearing anything.
But it’s while we’re sitting still, not moving and not saying anything, that we really start to see God move and Hear Him speak. And it might not happen in the time frame that we’d like it to.
But that’s OK. Because we’re not the ones in charge. He is.
