KNOW!

At some point in time, you have heard, read, or referenced the first portion of Psalm 46:10 which states, “Be still and know that I am God”. Let’s talk!

What does it mean to be still? In a few of my previous postings, I have written about resting in God, not attempting to “work for” the things of God, trusting in Him, having faith in Him, and being in the right position and posture to receive what He has for you. When I mention to be still physically, I am not just referencing it from a “sit down and not do anything” aspect. I am also referencing it from a “silence the noise around you and shift your focus from the distractions back to God” aspect. Spiritually, I am referencing it from a standpoint of silencing your mind and heart and dwelling in God’s peace as you release your desire to control things/people.

No matter what appears chaotic. No matter what appears to be falling apart. No matter who walks away. No matter if you don’t have what you think you need at this moment. No matter how rough life may be life-ing. No matter your current state of being. No matter how badly depression and anxiety may be trying to consume you. No matter how funny your money may be looking. No matter your relationship status. No matter how they may be treating you. No matter if the illness is plaguing your body. NO MATTER WHAT! You must choose to quiet your mind and heart and rest in God’s peace which exceeds all of your understanding for it will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7). It is in that peace that all of the negative revolving around a lack of understanding means nothing to you. It is in that peace that you can fully experience and demonstrate the knowing of God. Even though it looks bad, I KNOW that He will work it out for my good (Romans 8:28). Even though I don’t have the money right now, I KNOW that God is a provider and will supply all of my needs (Philippians 4:19). Even though I am full of grief and my heart is broken, I KNOW that God heals the brokenhearted and mends up my wounds (Psalm 147:3). Even though my father has forsaken me, I KNOW that God is a father to the fatherless (Psalm 68:5). Although I have not experienced the nurturing nature from my mother, I KNOW that God loves me, cares about me, and will not forget about me (Isaiah 49:15). Although those people abandoned me, I KNOW that God will NEVER leave me or abandon me (Hebrews 13:5).

It is time for us to come into a place of KNOWING. We must KNOW that God is a sovereign God meaning He is the Ruler over all of creation; the ultimate King of Kings with the authority to do whatever He desires, whenever He desires to do it; the only True and Living God with all power in His hands. We must come into KNOWING Him as the One who will be lifted up and glorified amongst all of the nations and the earth (Psalm 46:10).
