I wanted to give you a verse today that would help in times such as these. We are instructed in this verse to let go, to be quiet, and to be physically and mentally still. I think we can all agree that this is a very stressful time for all of us. For most of us stillness, silence, and serenity are difficult to find. Even when we are able to find it externally, it can still be difficult to cultivate stillness internally. Life is so busy and so are our minds. Sometimes we just need to slam on the brakes, take a deep breath and realize that God is in Control. Be Still and know that He is God and with Him nothing is impossible. It is critical to our faith to realize that the more we are deliberately still, the more we hear God's voice, the better we recognize God's activity, the smaller our issues seem, the bigger God appears, and the more we follow God's divine purpose and let God be God, instead of our own agenda's. When was the last time you released the pressing issues in your life to God? When was the last time you relaxed in the presence of God? Can you set aside just a few minutes today to "BE STILL" before God and to listen for His voice? ~ April
