Be Still and Know

“Be still and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10

I have to admit this is one verse that I need to be reminded of more than almost any other one.

There are some many areas in ours lives where our minds start whirling out of control with anxious thoughts, what-ifs, plans, and fears. I have heard that women’s brains work sort of like a web. Everything is connected. That means if we start thinking about one area of our lives it makes us think about another area and then another area and so on. That means that we can quickly go from just fine to stressed thoughts. I know this verse is for everyone, male and female, but I think it is one that women need to hold onto a little bit more.

A couple of days ago I was on a spiritual high and by the next day I felt like I crashed. Nothing happened to me, but I felt worn out and emotional. I felt like I had nothing to give. Not a great feeling! My mind started to focus on the unknown and that led to thinking about things I couldn’t control and that that led to feeling useless. All of this happened in just one day.

Then I saw this verse and I knew exactly what I needed to do. I need to be still and know that He is God. My spiritual high was because of Him. The unknown is in His hands. The things I can’t control are in His hands. All of me is in His hands. He uses me as I need to be used.

Therefore, I can be still and know that He is God.
