Be Still

Abiding In Our Savior Is Our Strength

BUSY - Being Under Satan’s Yoke

We sometimes are busy to fulfill our ego that we are “Important”

But it is often a distraction from the devil

to distract from our purpose

to distract from God’s presence

Matthew 11:28-30

Exodus 20:8-11

Psalm 46:10 ““Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!””

Elijah had a moment he was overwhelmed by the “storm” and needed to get still to find strength 1 Kgs 18:1-19:3

1 Kgs 19:10-14 I am the only one

God wasn’t in the wind, earthquake, or the fire

God was in the still small whisper

Finding Peace in Stillness

Bible Passage: Psalm 46:10

1. Be Still - Pause, rest, abide

Stillness isn’t laziness

Stillness is abiding in God

As we abide, anxiety leaves

Stillness reminds us that God is sovereign

It is in the stillness that we hear God speak

This is where we receive guidance, wisdom, faith, and trust for the day

It disconnects us from the world and connects us to God

Finding an intentional place t be still in the secret place during the day

2. And Know that I am God - Posture / Revelation - Recognize God's Sovereignty

Knowing that He is God

He is bigger than our problems

It is in this place fear leaves and faith remains Ps 27:1, 18:2

He is in control - God’s ultimate authority over all Eph 1:22, Heb 2:8, Ps 8:6, Mt 28:18, Col 2:10

He works all things for God Rom 8:28

Comfort in Chaos is found in surrendering control to Christ

Be anxious for nothing, but abide

Phil 4:6-10

Eph 3:20-21

Isaiah 40:31 “but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
