Theme: "Be Still and Know"
Scripture: 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."
Reflection
Stillness is not easy in a world that values busyness and productivity. Yet, Psalm 46:10 invites us to pause, let go of control, and trust in God’s sovereignty. This command to “be still” is not just about physical stillness; it’s a call to quiet our anxious thoughts and recognize God’s presence and power.
When we take time to be still, we create space for God to work in and through us. It’s in the stillness that we remember He is God and we are not. This week, embrace moments of stillness and use them to draw closer to God, trusting in His plan and timing.
