Psalm 46:10 ” Be still and know that I am God”

Being at a place where you become still especially when you are used to things being chaotic, hectic, busy and loud can be a bit of a challenge especially if this is your day to day norm and you live in a place where functioning in the ‘loud’ is the norm

What I am learning through this stretching season (pandemic) is that my usual way of doing things simply will not work. Me wanting to charge ahead, taking control under the guise that ‘ I got this’ no longer fits the mold because if nothing else this pandemic taught me that not I, we or any of us has it under control

In learning to be still I am also learning how to surrender to God, how to be the ‘Jesus girl’ I desire to be by letting go and trusting that as I spread my arms wide He will catch me.

Being still in His presence helps me to be at a place of calm and peace which further allows me to navigate the raging waters that try to overwhelm at times, being still while praying and then quietly listening to what He has to say screams growth, maturity and mindset shift

Being still the, above scripture rings true for God knew we would face trying times, testing moments while going through life’s journey and because of this these words were written, re written and translated over time to help us navigate and understand that though we go through, it won’t break us when we take His words literally

Don’t get me wrong, I have not mastered the stillness factor but daily I take intentional steps to walk out the chaos with God. I am learning how to breathe and speak to Him first before reacting and as I grow in this lesson, I am able to connect more with those closest to me so they too benefit from my stretching

So Beloveds, learn to be still, learn to rest, learn to be in Him

I pray you PEACE
