Being Still at Christmas

 

Being still at Christmas

Psalm 46:10

 

During the busyness of these days of Christmas season I have been trying to intentionally stop, sit in my chair and for a few moments at the beginning of the day to just be still and quiet.

This is a great challenge for me.  My mind is always racing in different directions of things I need to do, so I am easily distracted.

Psalm 46:10 was a wonderful promise for me today.  The Psalmist says, “Be still, and know that I am God.  I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Regardless of our circumstances as people of faith we can rest in the assurance of things are settled.  The God of creation, the God of salvation has everything under control.  One day he will be recognized as King of kings and Lord of lords.

Listen to the message of hope that was in our Bible study last Sunday. 

 

Luke 1:30-33, ESV

30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”

During these challenging days I want to encourage you to be still, to take time to listen to the voice of God who comforts us with things that are eternally settled.
