In the Stillness

    In the stillness

When we are still, we create space for God to speak to us. In the quietness, we can move beyond the chaos of our thoughts and emotions and connect with His voice. It is in these moments of stillness that we can hear God’s whispers and feel His gentle nudges.

The Bible is full of verses that speak to the power of quietness and stillness. Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.” Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” And in Psalm 62:5, we read, “My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him.

Be still for the presence of the Lord the Holy One, is here. Come bow before him now, with reverence and fear. In him no sin is found, we stand on holy ground. Be still for the presence of the Lord, The Holy One, is here.

Be still for the glory of the Lord is shining all around. He burns with holy fire; with splendour he is crowned. How awesome is the sight, our radiant King of light! Be still for the glory of the Lord is shining all around
