“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” – Psalm 46:10
What is your schedule like, today?
First, thank you for taking the time to read this devotion, today. I know how busy people are and I hope these devotions are helpful to you.
Our passage from Psalm 46:10 is one that I don’t think needs much explanation. Rather, I think we just need to be reminded from time to time. It’s good to pause sometimes and just be still and be in the presence of God, reflecting on His might, His love, His works.
This is true whether your life is a sunshiny day or a storm. God is with you. He is greater. He loves you. He will not leave you.
Here’s the rest of Psalm 46. Let’s take few minutes to pause, be still, and know He is God.
46:1 God is our refuge and strength,
a very present[b] help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah
8 Come, behold the works of the Lord,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the chariots with fire.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”
11 The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
