The power of calm

We are busy people.

Між роботою та домом, сім’єю та друзями, насиченими розкладами та нескінченними завданнями виникає спокуса поспішати крізь наші дні, навіть не зупиняючись, щоб підняти очі.

But God, speaking through the psalmist, said:

“Enough of the struggle,” He says, “know that I am your God.” I am the conqueror of nations, then I am the Lord of the earth.”
Psalms 46:10

When was the last time you were intentionally still (not just when you were sleeping)? When was your body and mind still enough to recognize that God is God?

Contrary to the past, what will you choose today? You can close this app, check “Time with God” on your to-do list, and go about your business as usual. Or you can let the knowledge and truth of God bring peace to your troubled heart.

There is something about silence that makes us go beyond ourselves. There is something in silence that heightens our awareness and need for God.

It’s one thing to acknowledge God with our words, but it’s another thing to put Him above all the good, the bad, and the unattractive in our lives—to live in such a way as to honor and magnify Him.

The day will come when, whether we are ready or not, God will reveal Himself fully. The day will come when, whether we like it or not, every secret will be revealed. The day will come when, like it or not, He will be exalted above the nations and honored throughout the world.

But you don’t have to wait to worship Him. You don’t have to wait to call Him your God. You don’t have to wait to make Him Lord and King of your life.

You can rest easy right now and know that He is God.
