March Week 4 Day 3: Choose to Renew by Being Still

Psalm 46:10
"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

Do not steal. Do not use the Lord's name in vain. Those are pretty easy. Be still? Are you crazy??

Being an American in the 21st century and being still seem to contradict each other. Our lives get faster and we keep trying to do more and more. Evidently Taco Bell was not fast enough so we now have Taco Bell Express. Sadly, prayer lives are a to go item also. While I completely agree we should talk to God throughout the day, we, as a nation, as a church, as Christians have forgotten to stop and be still before God.

If you, if I , do not stop and be still what are we missing? What is God doing that we do not notice? Are you missing His healing, His miracles, His answers?

Life is and will continue to be crazy. But and I mean BUT, God is still faithful, still has the power to perform miracles, still forgives, still loves and still has a plan and purpose for you. My question to you, will you choose to be still? Will you choose to be still and listen? Will you choose to be still and see God working?

As Samuel told the Israelites in his farewell speech,

1 Samuel 12:16
"Now then, stand still and see this great thing the LORD is about to do before your eyes!"

You may not see the power of God like the Israelites, but you will see God.

If you need healing from your wounds and hurts, will you choose to be still and let God heal you? If you need an answer or are seeking God's will, will you be still to hear God speak? If you need to renew your relationship with God, will you be still in His presence?

My friend, God is there and here. God is working. Will you choose to be still and know that He is God?

Remember your assignment is to choose to let God heal you. Now be still so God can.

Memorize Psalm 147:3 and I would suggest the verse above too, Psalm 46:10.
