These wonderful words...
“Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
Psalm 46:10
For us to really know our Creator intimately...we have to have moments of complete and utter...stillness. This is one of the most difficult things for us to do! Really. Even when we do calm our bodies, our hearts and minds generally keep racing. Correct?
Yes, a cultivated and most necessary joy.
God is telling us we will genuinely begin to know Him when we are still. Quiet. Not with our laundry list of prayers or questions. Not with a crowd of others that may distract. But alone with Him; our minds silent, hearts hushed, and the expectancy that He has been already waiting for us to come and enjoy His company, His joy, His peace, His healing, His comfort...
This is more than a wonderful quote, this is an invitation to come and know the Lover of our souls.
