Psalm 46:10

 

"Be still, and know that I am God. . . " ESV

 

We can let our minds work at causing the world around us to get more quiet. Stop thinking about tomorrow. Stop thinking about our finances. Stop thinking about our jobs or lack thereof. Stop thinking about our family issues. Stop thinking about our illnesses. Stop thinking about what we have, don't have, or want to have. We can be thinking of God and His great power, His love, His grace, and His mercy. This is the greatest spiritual exercise there is. It benefits not only our minds, but our spirits and bodies as well.

 

Heavenly Father, forgive us for allowing the noise of this world drown out the innumerable blessings You give to us each day. Help us to be still, to just make an effort to listen only to the sounds of Your presence all around us. We thank You and ask this in the name of Jesus our Lord, Amen.

BEING PATIENT

We can rest with acceptance and satisfaction in all that God is
doing. He has planned everything and is working it out in His own
time and His own way. Wait and see! He will be glorified and all
things will turn out for our good. We don't need to get uneasy or
upset by the success of ungodly people, for they will reap what
they sow.

Heavenly Father, we acknowledge that Your ways are right and
just. Help us to be quiet and confident that You will be glorified
and we will be able to share in Your glory if we hold fast to our
faith in You. In Jesus' name.

Read Psalm 37:7

"Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him; do not fret
when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their
wicked schemes." (NIV)

"Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself
because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man
who bringeth wicked devices to pass." (KJV)

THINK ABOUT YOUR ANGER

It is so easy to act on our anger and emotions. We are emotional
beings and it is in our nature to express them. Sometimes our
emotions, anger in particular, are best kept under control. It is far
better to give ourselves time to think about why we are feeling this
way and listen to our heart. Our own hearts will counsel us to do the
right and honorable thing if we are serving Christ. Many sins and
heartaches have been avoided by heeding this wisdom.

Read Psalm 4:4

"In your anger do not sin; when you are on your beds, search your
hearts and be silent." (NIV)

"Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon
your bed, and be still. Selah." (KJV)
