Be still and know

Psalm 46 v 10 Be still and know...
Pause for a moment. Stop with whatever you are doing, if possible. “Cease striving” and think of who God is in your life. What role does He fulfill? Is He a mere “go to” in times of need and trouble?
If the (honest) answer is yes, then you need to revisit your relationship with Him. In some traditions, cultures and environments we have been raised, knowing of God, and given a picture of a being that is not within our reach and therefore we need someone to intercede for us and approach Him on our behalf.
Praise God that we have the ability to fellowship with Him, through the death and resurrection of Jesus and His Spirit that intercedes for us. Is God your refuge, strength and stronghold through sickness and in health, good days and bad, for richer, for poorer, till death unites you with your Creator?
If your answer is no, then I plead with you today. Seek the Lord, while He can still be found. Call on His Name. Allow His Spirit to petition on your behalf. Be still and know He is God, Who is exalted above all the earth, all kings and all leaders. Allow Him to search your heart and show you the need for a Saviour.
Be still and know, God is who He says He is and His love endures forever. Amen
