We Can Be Still and Know


Psalm 46 King James Version (KJV)


46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Dear Friends,

 It is not easy to be still. The act of being still, trusting and waiting on the revealed will of God in our situations is a discipline.  No, it is not easy to be still but it is possible.  How is this accomplished? "Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience." (James 1:3) Further, "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men this is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible."
   - St. Mark 10:27

 We can be still and rest assured for:
  • God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
We can be still for we know we have all the support we need.  We have a place where we can refresh and replenish.  This place is in God. We are not standing around waiting on God to show up. For He is a very present help in trouble.  God is already here.

We can be still and not fear.  Mountains may move and shake.  The waters of adversity may roar and trouble our soul. But God has provided a river, a place where we can bathe our weary soul.  The Holy Spirit, Our Comforter is  Cooling Water.

We can be still.  "Fear not stand still and see the salvation of the Lord." (Exodus 14:13 cf)  Trouble abounds yet the Lord of Hosts is with us the God of Jacob is our refuge. God makes wars to cease to the ends of the earth.

We can be still and know. Psalms 37:3-7 instructs us: Trust in the Lord and do good. Delight in the Lord. Commit thy way unto the Lord. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him.  Don't fret.

Be still.  We can be still and know.  For He is God.

God bless!
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie

My, My, My

  Luke 1:46b “My soul doth magnify the Lord,” My, my, my Such were my thoughts this morning as I looked out of my window at the sunrise. The Lord in His Majestic power has ordered another day. Waking up with the ability to see, to hear, and to speak. Graced with mercy to walk and talk. The Lord continues to bless and to keep. I did not wake up without aches and pains. Carefree and without challenges is not an entry on my schedule. Yet, my soul doth magnify the Lord. The Lord has given me another day to live another opportunity to serve. My, my, my.  God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

Just a Moment

  1 Corinthians 15:52   “In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” A moment. Just a minute. Things happen. Situations change. Here one minute and gone the next.  So the saying goes. Moments. They mater. While we have time… Take a second. Press pause. Stop.  Consider. Right now.  This moment. Counts…⏰ God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie

I’ll Go With You

  Isaiah 41:10   “Fear thou not; for I  am  with thee: be not dismayed; for I  am  thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” “Jesus said if you go I’ll go with you.” Butterflies in my stomach  A racing heart  I do not want to attend the meeting  I wish I could cancel the appointment  I don’t want to talk about it Over “it” I don’t think I can do this  BUT GOD He reminds me that of course, I cannot accomplish even the most mundane tasks on my own  He assures me day by day that He is with me  He builds me up He orders my steps  He speaks peace to my soul  He renews my heart  Do not be afraid  You belong to Me I’ve got you I am holding you in My mighty hands  Go! I will go with you. God bless.🌸✨  In Christ, Sis. Stephanie
