Lunch: Be Still

Psalm 46:10

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

Last night, and this morning, my posts were entitled Hear My Cry and Hear Our Prayers. Now it's time to quit yapping and be still. What does it mean to "be still?" Just the sound of it sounds like something most Americans are not inclined to do. Consider this excerpt from Jason Jackson:

"This command — “be still” — forces us to think on two things: that we are finite, and that God is infinite. That being the case, we need to drop our hands, go limp, relax, and “chill out.” Christian people ought to “come, behold the works of Jehovah,” (v. 8) that we may enjoy a calm confidence in him who gave us his Son."

I encourage you to read Mr. Jacksons' entire article. After all, it is lunch time, and we are not eating. Let's be still and think about reliance on God, rather than trying to do it all, ourselves. After reading, meditate on this Psalm 46 worship video from the Applegate Psalms Project:



Work at being still awhile longer. It is my opinion that it should feel uncomfortably long. Give up control to God.

I will be providing no suggestions for prayer. Rather, after being still, pray for Adam and/or his family, as the Holy Spirit moves you.

We'll meet, again, at dinner time.
