Be still [December 27, 2022 ]

Daily Word 🇬🇭

Be still
Psalm 46:10
Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth

When you face challenges in your ministry or your life, there is no need to panic or fear.

The verse above says in such times you should “Be still”. Cease from fretting and worrying. Stop all attempts of applying panic responses or reflex actions like:
– Pacing up and down frantically
– Calling a thousand and one friends and relatives for advice and prayer
-Finding your own solutions

In the verse above christians are being encouraged to trust God to move on our behalf. He is God and He knows the best action to take.

Pray fervently in such times. James 5: 16b says
…The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Philippians 4:6-7
Have no anxiety about anything but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus

This verse from the new testament also encourages us to pray in challenging times and stop fretting and worrying.

Learn to be “Be still” and wait patiently for God to move on your behalf.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Trust in God with all your heart at all times.

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this hymns

Be still my soul
The Lord is on thy side
Bear patiently the cross
Of grief or pain
Leave to thy Lord
To order and provide
In every change
He faithful will remain
Be still my soul
Thy best, thy heavenly friend
Through thorny ways
Leads to a joyful end.
Amen
