Be Still in My Presence

"Be still and know that I am God..." (Psalm 46:10, NKJV)

How many times do we go about our day, totally ignoring the fact that God is trying to speak to us? The Lord has been teaching me lately to just sit still in His presence. Here's what the Lord has spoken to me, and I think it will encourage you as well.

"my child, why do you insist on running by me so fast? How can I pour my spirit's words into you in this way? Sit in my presence and let me teach you something new. Lay all your burdens and cares at my feet. Do this, and you will find the rest and restoration you long for."

Ladies, are we willing to just sit quietly in His holy presence? I know it will change our lives!

Father, help us to be still before You. Help us to slow down enough to taste of Your glory. In Jesus Name, Amen.

  3. I love this verse! A former pastor had us go through an exercise using this verse. I'm sure it wasn't original with him but it went something like this:
    Meditate on each line-
    Be still and know that I am God
    Be still and know that I am
    Be still and know
    Be still

    It's a great way to sit in God's presence and wait for Him to speak.
    Blessings, dear One!

  4. Jamie, thank you for this beautiful reminder. I love what Cathy had to say too about breaking down each word and letting it saturate our spirit. These are powerful words straight from the Father's lips. He offers us the gift of peace if we would only listen. Love you!
