Be Still

Get alone in a quiet place with God. Avoiding the distractions of this world for a time. The distractions can easily block out the sound of His Voice when He is speaking to you. Get alone with God and listen to His still small voice calling and guiding you.


I keep hearing in my spirit; “be still”. the word still, means; not moving or in motion, silent, or quiet. Free from disturbance. The scripture from Psalms 46:10 comes to mind. “Be still and know that I am God.”

We become so busy with our day that many of us, including myself, we start our day off in a rush, and we continue that way until it is time to go to bed for the night. We are in such a hurry to get things done, or we have so much to do that we do not take the time to just spend time with the Lord.

Our day should start off with time in the morning spent before the Lord. We may think that we do not have the time. We get up and we have to get the kids up, feed and dressed. We have to get them ready for school, etc. We have to get ourselves ready for work.  Our day is taken up with activities, and we leave out the most important thing in our lives.

We can make the time to spend with the Lord, by getting up a little earlier and dedicating that time for the Lord. Than we we do, we will find that our days schedule becomes easier. If our hearts are genuine before the Lord, we will spend the first hour of the day with God, knowing that He is right there with us.

The Holy Spirit will guide us to a better way around traffic, or help us in our job performance, or help us in our classes, or what ever our day requires of us, our day will better, and things will go better when we are quiet before the Lord.

The Lord tells us to be still and know that He is the Lord. Spend time with God in prayer and read the word of God. Mediated upon His word. Worship Him, and then do the hard thing and just sit quiet before the Lord and listen for Him to speak to you. Fellowship with the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. He will heap tremendous blessings upon you.



Today’s scripture: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalms 46:1


Today’s thoughts:  Time spent with the Lord, is never wasted. He longs to fellowship with you, so  be still and know that He is the Lord. He told the people of old to be still and see the salvation of the Lord. If you will learn to be still before the Lord you also will see God bring you to victory in your situation.
