That I May Know Him

And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. ~ 1 John 5:20 (KJV)

Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:29

Be STILL and KNOW

~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

Through these words of the Psalmist, God invites us to seek quietness and to become still. He then promises that this stillness will not be an empty experience. In the stillness He will strengthen us.

Be still and know boils down to two important truths: Prayer and Faith.

The "be still" part sounds difficult, but the Lord is just asking from us a time to be quiet. Instead of letting the cares of the world and the hurts of our heart get the best of us, we just have to commit all our insecurities to the Lord, and He will sustain us. We are to seek fellowship with Him, a time of prayer.

There is another very powerful message: not only are we to be calm, we are also to know that God is in control. He is almighty! The quiet time that we spend with Christ will humble us in knowing how great He is and how small a creature we are. He will equip us with the shield of faith.

If we can be still and know that He is God in whatever situation we are facing, whether a time of trial or a time of praise, the Lord Jesus Christ will get the glory and He will be exalted among the people.


~In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength. Isaiah 30:15
