Bible Verse of The Day – 1-7-24 – Be Still

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings, brothers and sisters in Christ! 

Do we sometimes have a hard time being still and hearing God when we need to hear Him the most? 

Tough situations can cause us to become frantic, and instead of being still and listening to God, we do the exact opposite. 

In today’s new video, we teach about learning to be still and hear God’s voice, especially during times when we typically would be frantic and jumping around, searching for a solution to our problem. 

We hope this video will shed some light on this problem and bring understanding in an area where we often struggle to get understanding and clarity.

We love you all very much!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-22

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!

During these last few weeks, those two words, “be still”, have been critical to my walk with God and my everyday life in the natural.

Seasons of change or times of trial can make us want to do things that we might not normally do.

When we’re facing the unknown and we don’t understand everything we’re seeing, we tend to want to take things into our own hands. We may begin making rash decisions. We might want to run away. Or we may feel like God has abandoned us.

It’s those times of change and difficulty, though, when we need to do the opposite. Instead of running away, hiding, trying to take control or feeling abandoned, we need to hold tightly to God, letting Him lead us through the changes we’re facing.

It’s not always easy to do. In fact, it can be downright difficult sometimes.

Our flesh fights us, almost as though it’s our enemy. And in some ways, it is. The flesh wars against our spirit as our spirit works to follow the Spirit of God. It’s a never-ending battle that can tire us out if we let it.

But instead of wrestling constantly, sometimes the best thing we can do is to stay still.

It’s in the stillness that we can hear God best. This is why it’s so important that we not get frantic, but quell our emotions as they try to lead us down roads of fear and doubt.

And as we learn to do this, to listen for the Spirit of God, and let Him lead, we will begin to walk in the peace of God that surpasses all understanding, allowing us to move forward on the path He has set before us.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-1-18

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.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-13-16

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!

Are you tired today? Be still and know that He is God.

Are you mourning a loss? Be still and know that He is God.

Are you feeling alone and left out? Be still and know that He is God.

Do you feel like you just can’t go on any longer? Be still and know that He is God.

Are you celebrating a victory in your life? Be still and know that He is God.

It doesn’t matter what season of our life we’re in right now. It doesn’t matter if we’re at the top of the mountain or in the deepest valley.

It doesn’t matter if we’re laying flat on our back, looking up, or if we’re soaring with our hands raised high.

The most important thing we can do is to be still and know that He is God.

When we celebrate, He should be the reason we’re celebrating. When we’re struggling, He needs to be the One we look to for strength, wisdom and understanding.

In all we do, our accomplishments will never mean anything until we sit still and know that He is God. Without Him we would all be nothing. But with Him we can do all things.

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-14-16

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!

Being still is one of the hardest things any of us will ever be told to do by God.

You would think that sitting still would be easy. You know; just sit there and don’t move. But that is really hard for most of us to do.

Why? Because our minds like to try to figure things out. We like to know what’s going to happen. We don’t like surprises or the unknown. We like to be in charge.

For some of us, we just have a hard time waiting. We know something is coming. But we don’t know how or when. And it makes us antsy; we can’t sit still. Some of it is due to excitement. Some of it is due to not knowing what else to do. So we just want to move… do something!

But this is where we’re tested. This is what can make or break some of us. This is where we learn how to listen and obey God’s voice, even when it might seem like we’re not hearing anything.

But it’s while we’re sitting still, not moving and not saying anything, that we really start to see God move and Hear Him speak. And it might not happen in the time frame that we’d like it to.

But that’s OK. Because we’re not the ones in charge. He is.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-30-16

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.

Those are probably two of the hardest words we will ever be told by God to carry out.

Being still when we’re going through trials requires that we trust God 100%. It takes a lot of faith to sit still when things are crumbling around us. But being still is what God says to do.

He wants us to be still so we don’t get frantic and rely solely on our intellect or our logical mind to try to fix everything. Instead, He wants us to have faith and trust Him to help us.

And He wants us to listen for His voice, through the Holy Spirit, so He can tell us what to do.

Most times, our minds are so busy trying to come up with solutions to our problems that we can’t hear Him when he does speak to us. This is why He tells us to be still.

It’s easy, when everything is going well, for us to say that we trust God. But when things get difficult, and the rubber meets the road, that’s when we get tested. That’s when “walking in faith” can be the most difficult.

But it’s then, during those trying times, that we need our faith even more.

Living and walking by faith takes time and practice to adjust to. It doesn’t just happen overnight because we want it to. But as we begin to trust God and be still in little things, we will find it easier and easier to do in bigger things.

So start today. Trust Him and be still. Know that He is God!

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-4-15

Psalm 91:1 (NKJV) 91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

There is a “secret place”. It’s a place where we can hear God speak to us.

This isn’t necessarily a physical place. It could be. But it can also be a quiet time where we have no distractions.

Even if we’re not in a secret or secluded room, when we get peace, quiet and stillness, it allows us to hear God with no interruptions and no distractions.

Everyone wants to hear from God. It’s essential to building a strong relationship with Him. But so many times we’re so busy talking that we never leave quiet time to hear what He has to say.

Elijah wanted to hear from God. And he did hear. How did it happen? Not in thunder, not in a strong wind, not in fire or even in tremors of the earth. He heard God in a still small voice.

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

God wants us to be still and listen for Him. He wants us to hear Him. He wants us to be listening for Him at all times.

His voice brings peace, clarity, understanding, wisdom and revelation to our lives.
