“Be Still and know that I am God.” Psa 46:10
Be still literally means “Take your hands off! Relax” In this world, we like to be “hands-on” people and manage our own lives, employers also look for people with hands-on experience, but God is God, and we are His servants. The Lord calls Himself “the God of Jacob,” (v. 11), and we remember how often Jacob got into trouble because he got his hands-on circumstances and tried to play God. There is a time to obey God and act, but until then, we better take our hands off and allow Him to work in His own time and His own way. If we seize His promises by faith with both hands, we won’t be able to meddle!
Prayer: Dear Lord, as we enter and begin this new month, help us to be wise, to take off our hands and be still, relax and depend on you.
