Daily Devotional

Good Morning Everyone!

“He says, ‘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

"Worry is a conversation you have with yourself about things you cannot change. Prayer is a conversation you have with God about things He can change."

Here's what we may identify with about the stillness: it can be terrifying—the fear that God might not show up. 

We fill that silence with noise, every pause with productivity, because deep down we wonder: What if I get quiet and He's not there? So we stay busy, mistaking our motion for devotion, confusing our frantic service with our faith.

But God doesn't say “be still and work harder to find Me” He says "be still and know"—not learn, not discover, but Know—that He already Is. Right here! Right now!Sovereign over our chaos, present in all of our pain, working while we are at rest. 

The Hebrew word for "still" means to release, to let go, to stop fighting. It's God saying, "My Child, put down your weapons. The battle is Mine, and I've already won." You Must Surrender 

Your soul wasn't designed for endless striving. It was designed for sacred rest in the God who never rests, never sleeps, never stops loving you. 

Father God, sometimes it's hard for me to slow down. My mind won't stop, my heart feels heavy, and I keep trying to fix everything myself. But right now, I'm choosing to come to You. Help me breathe, help me trust, help me remember that You love me even when I'm a mess. Let Your peace quiet my soul. I need You today. 

In Jesus' name, Amen
