In a world that thrives on busyness and constant activity, the invitation of God to “be still, and know that I am God” (Psalm 46:10) often feels counterintuitive. Yet, it is in stillness that the greatest strength is found. Isaiah 30:15 reminds us, “For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength…”
Life is full of moments when the weight of responsibility, decision-making, and uncertainty can feel overwhelming. During such times, the instinct to keep pushing, fixing, and striving often overtakes the invitation to rest in God. However, the presence of God is best experienced not in the noise but in the stillness of our souls. It is in those quiet moments that He speaks, renews, and empowers us to walk in His strength.
Jesus exemplified this beautifully. Despite the demands of ministry, He often withdrew to solitary places to pray and commune with the Father. He understood that strength for the journey comes from being alone with God. In the same way, we are called to quieten our hearts, trust in His sovereignty, and allow His presence to sustain us.
God’s presence is not a place of striving but of abiding.
When we learn to be still, we allow Him to take His rightful place as Lord over our circumstances. This posture of surrender births a strength that carries us through seasons we could not endure on our own.
THOUGHT TO PONDER: Stillness is not weakness; it is a declaration of trust in God. Are you carving out time to be still before Him?
PRAYER: Lord, teach me to rest in You and to embrace stillness as a place of strength. Help me to trust You fully, knowing that in quietness and confidence, I find my strength. Let Your presence be my anchor in every storm. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
