“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea…God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day…The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress…Be still and know that I am God……The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” (Psalm 46:1-11)
One of the hardest things I’ve learned in life, especially in the tough days, is simply this: Be still, more. When we’re often so prone to hurry and worry, this may feel like such a huge challenge. But we should never allow the pressures of what we’re facing get in the way of just spending much-needed time in God’s Presence and seeking the healing and calm his or her voice of love an offer. It’s truly the most important minutes of our day; those one’s connecting us to something all containing spiritually and will bring peace to our spirit and strength to the day.
Maybe everything hasn’t gone as planned in recent days. Maybe times seem hard or we’re not sure what God is doing through this difficult season. But whatever’s concerning us, we can entrust it to our powerful God, for He knows every burden we’ve carried. And He cares. God’s truths and time spent with Him will help us to quit spiraling into cycles of worry, as our hearts and minds become more focused on Him. The very God who causes the sun to rise every morning, who created us, and all that we see, holds the whole world in His hands. He keeps us safe and secure in His care, and reminds us, He hasn’t lost control. Not ever.
