Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
Be still and know.
What do these words mean, and how do we apply them to our lives in a practical way that will help us grow as a believer?
Well, being still doesn’t necessarily mean sitting and doing nothing. Many of us make that mistake. And doing so can cause our situation or our trial to be prolonged.
Sitting still in this verse means that we do as God has shown us or instructed us to do. But we do it without fear. And we do it knowing that God is on our side and he has secured us in our position with Him.
When we become afraid, we tend to make rash decisions and we lose the ability to trust God, because we begin to doubt Him.
Sitting still means not doubting Him, not becoming frantic and not becoming fearful as we do the things He has told us to do.
And if we haven’t heard Him tell us what to do, then we do only the things we know He has previously instructed us to do. God is faithful to lead us. We just need to be sure to follow Him.
Be still and know. Trust Him.
