Be Still

One of the benefits that the pandemic had for our culture early on was that it caused us to stop the busyness and consider what we were doing and why.  I think that is a practice we should consider for next year as well.  We need to just stop sometimes and be still.

In this song, “Only Be Still” we are reminded of that important truth.  It’s based on Moses words from Exodus to the Israelites as they perceived the threat of Pharoah’s armies at the base of the Red Sea.  Was God going to let them all die at the hands of their enemy?  Moses tells them, “only be still”. 

We often wonder, if we don’t push really hard will God take care of us?  He tells us to stop from time to time and just be still and know that He is God.  Not us, but Him. 

Do not be afraid, stand firm and see today.  The LORD is mighty to save and He will fight for you, only be still. 

Be still and know that I am God, and I will quiet you with love.  On Eagles’ wings you will soar and I will sing over you…

I will sing over, you need only be still…

Maybe it’s time to sit back and consider God’s love again and that He is in control and we are going to be okay in that knowledge. 

It is when we fight and push and try to control things that aren’t ours to control that we become upset, worried, stressed and not at peace.  God help us to let go and let Him show us the way.  That doesn’t mean we just do nothing all the time, but it does mean we need to take time to listen, to pray and to consider.
