The Courage to Be Still

In a world that constantly demands our attention, stillness can feel like a luxury we can't afford. Yet, it takes great courage to embrace the quiet moments. When life is rushing around you, and everything inside you wants to move, it’s often in the stillness that God speaks most clearly.

Psalm 46:10 reminds us, "Be still, and know that I am God." This is not just a call to cease activity but an invitation to trust. Stillness isn't about inaction; it's about surrendering control, trusting that God's timing is perfect, and believing that He is working even when we cannot see it.

The courage to be still is the courage to let go of worry and the need to always be doing. It's a choice to let God's peace settle into our hearts and trust that He is in control. In the stillness, we find rest for our souls and an assurance that we are held in His loving hands.

So, today, take a moment to breathe, to be still, and to let God remind you that He is right there with you. His presence brings peace that surpasses all understanding.
