Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
[Psalm 46:10]

Be Still And Know Your God

Good Morning Beloved,

This is one of those statements that may confuse some people. “Preacher, I thought you said keep moving, how do I keep moving and be still at the same time?” Glad you asked. Discernment. I say that a lot. Discernment is a “stretching” of our spiritual “muscles”. Knowing when to “move” and when to be “still”. It is also possible to be still even while we’re moving. Developing a habit of quieting our spirit when a tumult tries to arise within us. There will be times when it seems as though we are pressed and attacked from every side. During the times when we are being bombarded from the outside, there may also be a storm brewing on the inside of us. We can be assaulted by thoughts of things that have not even happened. The Lord tells us to “be still”. While we’re kicking and screaming, we’re drowning in our circumstances, and we can’t hear. He’s telling us what we need to do, and either we can’t hear Him, or we are ignoring His instruction because we don’t want to do what He is saying ()! Our Heavenly Father said, “know that He is God”. Knowing who He is will rebuild and reinforce our foundation and strengthen every area in us that is trying to fall apart. We will see our situations through a new set of eyes. We realize that “greater is He that is within me then he that is in the world”. When our spirit is jumping out of control, we need to tell it to “get somewhere and sit down…God is all in the midst of this, and nothing is beyond His notice or control”. That is the epitome of the saying, “get a hold of yourself”. Remember one of the fruits of the spirit is “self-control”. Ideally, we get control of ourself, and give it to God. Whatever gets our focus will have control over our heart. When our focus is on God, and what He has already promised, wonderful things happen.

For the Eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.

[2 Chronicles 16:9]

… and THAT Beloved is Good News!

In Loving Memory of Bishop Walter Hawkins…. truly one of Gospel’s greats, he will be missed, but his music will live on forever. I appreciate the impact his ministry has had on my life and growth in Jesus over the years. It has been a great source of comfort, strength and rejuvenation since I accepted Jesus. Thank God for Bishop Hawkins… a true gift to the body who epitomized excellence in ministry for many, many years.
