Be Still

If it all feels like too much—take a breath: breathe in God’s mercy, breathe out the chaos. Hand it all over to Jesus to take care of. The laundry, the dishes, the project, the unpleasant conversation, the emails, the never ending to do list; if there is a struggle, a procrastination, a pain for you in these daily activities, perhaps it’s an opportunity to meet God there. Bring it to Jesus. Talk through the struggle with Him, you are right where God needs you to be. --- God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. So we will not fear when earthquakes come and the mountains crumble into the sea. Let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge! A river brings joy to the city of our God, the sacred home of the Most High. God dwells in that city; it cannot be destroyed. From the very break of day, God will protect it. The nations are in chaos, and their kingdoms crumble! God’s voice thunders, and the earth melts! The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Come, see the glorious works of the Lord: See how he brings destruction upon the world. He causes wars to end throughout the earth. He breaks the bow and snaps the spear; he burns the shields with fire. “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.” The Lord of Heaven’s Armies is here among us; the God of Israel is our fortress. Psalms 46:1-11 | NLT
