Be Still And Know That He is God

-June 12, 2022-

Good morning, happy Lord’s Day,

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

(Psalm 46:10).

Being still before the Lord is very difficult to do. We always think we have to go, go, go all the time. We need to stop and be still before the Lord, so that He can speak to us and direct us in His ways. We live in such a fast paced world, and it is so easy to get caught up in it. Everyone seems to be in such a hurry. Jesus told His disciples in Mark 6:31, “‘Come aside by yourselves to a deserted place and rest awhile.’ For there were many coming and going, and they did not have time to eat.”

We must be still and know that He is God. He is our Lord, our Savior, our Master, and our King. If we don’t slow down to listen, He will slow us down. Mary of Bethany sat at Jesus’ feet and listened to His Word. John reclined on Jesus’ bosom and heard His voice. They shared a great love for Him and desire to spend time with Him.

Twice in our text, the Lord uses the phrase, “I will be exalted. He says, “I will exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” It is a blessing to realize that our Lord is the God of the universe. One day, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord. It doesn’t mean that everyone will be saved however. They will be forced to bow and confess. We as believers in Christ have willingly bowed the knee and confessed Him as Lord.

May the Lord help us to be still before Him and know that He is God. He is sovereign and we must trust and obey Him. Have a blessed Lord’s Day.

In His love and power,

Dean
