Psalm 46
I think one of the most important lessons God is teaching me is how to be still, sit in prayer and be in His presence. The Hebrew translation of "be still" is cease striving. Learning this is a process but one that I am grateful for. In this morning's reading of A Diary of Private Prayer, we read "I cannot go into this day unless you accompany me with your blessing". In our stillness, we receive in our souls what God wants to give us. Everything we receive we must realize is a gift from God. We must walk as stewards, carrying and releasing the blessings we received while sitting still in His presence. God is our refuge and strength now and through each trial. His final victory in inevitable and one day we will all stand still quietly before Him. Being still at some point in each day, giving Him praise and honoring His power and majesty puts our lives in proper perspective. Apart from that, as King Solomon so wisely put it, "everything is meaningless".
