Be Still And Know

I feel like God has been giving me these words for a few weeks now. Be still and know. In our world today everything is fast pace and go-go-go! We never have time for anything because we make these plans or those plans and have to go do this or that and work, school, watching your kids. When do you get time to be still? We often think oh i am being still when we get a moment to sit down from all the craziness going on, but is that really being still with God? Are we giving Him our full attention in that time? Is He our every thought at that time? Or are we just sitting and thinking about all the stuff we still need to get done or worrying about what we need to do for the next day? (worrying is Not a good thing to do, God has everything under control give your worry to HIm!) Being still doesn't mean to just read the bible or a few minutes and put it back down. 

To be still and know means to get away from all the distractions in the world (phone and everything) and it just be you and God at that time. It is to sit talking to God, giving Him ALL your cares and worries and not holding anything back from Him. It is to sit and listen, listen to that still small voice of God. I feel like the devils voice is so much louder than Gods so its in the moments of being still where i have to really listen and ask God to give me ears to hear Him. When we listen to the things He wants for us and we really want to listen and hear Him, He will speak clearly to us. 

It is also about knowing who He is. Knowing that He is God over ALL He is bigger than all of your problems and the things we deal with. We need to surrender everything and give it all to the God who created us. We need to give Him everything knowing that He will turn everything in the end out for good. 

Its all so much easier said than done. But we are called to be doers and not just hears of the word. Take time out of your busy lives ( i feel like mine is getting busier every single day) Just be alone with HIM!! He deserves all of our time and we need to give it to Him. 

Be still and know that I am God.

Psalm 46:10
