TODAY’S WORD…

.

“Be still, and know that I am God!”

.

– Psalm 46:10a (NRSV)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

You pray often and faithfully.

You daily go through your devotional prayers.

You speak to the Lord in prayer,

you praise and thank and plead with Him

because you know that He is listening.

.

All good

…but the ultimate scope of prayer, of all manner of praying,

should be to bring us into the presence of God.

.

.

“Be still, and know that I am God!”

In a quiet place, let yourself be still,

and let God be God.

.

“Be still, and know that I AM.”

God is the Great “I AM”.

He is the eternal present moment.

God is eternal being.

.

“Be still, and know.”

It’s enough to know that we are one with God,

and knowing that…is enough.

.

“Be still.”

Contemplation is just sitting in God’s presence,

and letting God’s love transform us.

.

“Be.”

There are moments

where God would like us to stop saying and doing and thinking and hoping.

God would like us just to be

…there with Him.
