Hi beautiful ladies,
Be still and know that He is God. In this verse are 2 commands. One is to be still and the other is to know God as THE GOD. In order to know Him, we have to first be still and acknowledge Him. Being still can be a struggle; trust me, I know.
Be still and know that He is God
My daily life, most of the time, is consumed with studies, whether it is actually studying for a test, attending class (these days it’s online) or doing work concerning my studies. On top of that, there’s family events, friends I have to check on and also church events. This occupies most of my time and it leaves me in a space where I’m so busy and preoccupied that I sometimes forget to pause, to take a breath and just acknowledge His presence.
At the beginning of my 40 day journey, there was no lack of stillness. I had no set daily schedule and I could take 5 minutes off whenever I wanted. I could write to God, listen a worship song or even have a long, deep conversation with Him.
This stress causes me to feel overwhelmed and weak, struggling to reach out to Jesus instead of food.
Now, I stress about upcoming online tests, I’m preoccupied with my daily class schedule and on top of that, I have a life to live and a fight to fight. This stress causes me to feel overwhelmed and weak, struggling to reach out to Jesus instead of food.
Amidst this chaos, there’s a voice that’s calling out to me, inviting me to spend time alone with Him. He invites me to His humble abode and He serves me with the Bread of Life. This is where I need to be to rest, be nourished spiritually, receive restoration from Him and enjoy His presence. This is where I get to know that He is God of all gods.
We weren’t created to fight this fight on our own.
I want to encourage you ladies today to take some time off to sit with God, tell Him how your day was, lay down your burdens and tell Him the things which makes you feel like giving just up.
Lots of love
Inge xx
