DAILY?READINGS: Exodus 40; Psalms 94-95; Acts 24:1-23

 

…Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord.  Exodus 14:13
Sit still, my daughter… Ruth 3:18
Be still, and know that I am God… Psalm 46:10

It is challenging to stand still in a moving world, to sit still in an exciting world, and to be still in a restless world. The art of meditation is lost to activity. Yet, there is a blessing for each discipline. Stand still—and see the salvation of the Lord (Ex. 14:13). Sit still—and listen to what God will do (Ruth 3:18). Be still—and know that I am God (Ps. 46:19). Today, find a quiet place and enjoy the stillness of His presence. —Rex Trogdon

The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want; He makes me down to lie;
In pastures green; He leadeth me, the quiet waters by.
—Scottish Psalter
