Scripture: Psalm 46:10 (NIV) “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Reflection: Embracing stillness often feels counterintuitive when facing life’s uncertainties and pressures. Psalm 46:10, however, offers a profound directive: to pause and recognize God’s omnipotence and sovereignty. This verse invites us to shift our focus from our challenges to God’s enduring presence and power. In this intentional stillness, we encounter a peace that is both grounding and transformative, reminding us of God’s unchanging nature amidst our ever-changing circumstances.

Application:

• Create a daily habit of spending a few quiet moments in reflection, acknowledging God’s presence in your life.
• Consider a situation in your life where you feel overwhelmed. Reflect on how recognizing God’s control in this situation could change your perspective.

Prayer: Lord, in moments of busyness and uncertainty, help me to find solace in Your presence. Teach me to be still and recognize You as the unshakable foundation of my life. May this acknowledgment bring peace to my heart and clarity to my mind. Amen.
