Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10
It is so difficult to be still. When calamity strikes, our first reaction is to want to take action. Intuitively, we think that we possess the knowledge and ability to deal with whatever life throws at us. It is foolhardy, however, to ignore the One who has all power and is called “the only wise God” (1 Tim. 1:17). Trials come so that we may learn to trust God. Let us rest in the knowledge that He is mighty to save, regardless of the problem. —Keith Keyser
My eager heart, be still! Thy Lord will surely come,
And take thee to His home, with Him to dwell;
It may not be today; and yet, my soul, it may. —George A. Warburton
