Be Still ~ FAITH Shut off the TV and listen to God in His Word.

"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

Be still, shut off the TV, and listen to God in His Word.
​
Have you considered there’s just too much noise? Too much movement... Have you ever wondered how some Christians can be going through the worst pain and suffering and still they have joy? It’s because they are being still. They put all their worries (and TRUST) in God’s hands.

Instead of listening to the noise of your worries, listen to the voice of the Lord. We are not to let our joy come from our circumstances, because circumstances change.  In order to build our faith in God's promises, we need to Be Still and reflect on His message and design for us.

ACTION: Go find a lonely place. A place with less noise. When you stop and focus on the beauty of Christ, you will receive the peace that He has promised you. When you cry out to Him in prayer you will feel His comfort.

BE STILL and relax in the Lord. He is in control. Remember the times that He has helped you, other believers, and people in Scripture. God promises to help you and never leave you. Talk to Him, trust in Him, be still, and you will hear His calming voice and rest upon His strength.

We build our faith and trust by spending time with the things and people we care about.
We can know and trust Jesus by having an intimate relationship with Him. That does not come from knowing ABOUT Him, but rather getting to personally know Him by what He says (in His Holy Word, the Bible), recognizing the things He does in our lives, and by way of His Holy Spirit who comes to guide and comfort us. 

Take time daily to BE STILL to grow in your faith in Christ and His promises for you. 
​
Prayer:  Dear Lord, I realize that I am incapable of controlling life, and I can surrender my will to your will. It may be a matter of finally saying “I trust You.”  Please let this open the door so that I may experience the fullness of all You want and have for me, for us. . After all, you are our Creator and you  have a  perfect plan for me when I let you orchestrate it.  Amen.
Have a blessed day!
