Be Still

Psalm 46:1 says “God is our refuge and strength an ever present help in trouble.”
Many a time we try to fight life battles by ourselves. We struggle so hard to overcome difficult situations in our homes, places of work, social lives, health even in our religious settings. We tend to forget we didn’t create ourselves and that we have a God who made us, watches over us and who can do all things. Verse 10 of psalm 46 says “Be still and know that I am God.” Whatever be the case God says ‘BE STILL.’ Why? Vs 11 “For the Lord almighty is with us the God of Jacob is our refuge.” Tell me, what more can we ask for? Isn’t this a great assurance?

When God Speaks

God is so faithful and the Bible made it clear that His words cannot return void to Him without accomplishing that which it’s meant to accomplish. On many occasions in the Bible that God spoke marvelous things happened.
In Genesis 1:3 the Bible recorded this: And God said “Let there be light” and there was light. Verse
6 says: And God said “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water”. The Bible recorded in verse 7b that it came to pass. Isn’t that awesome. It is a very encouraging thing to know that we have a God who can speak into our situations and things start happening.
A number of instances abound in the Bible, situations and conditions that seemed so difficult and impossible but each time God speaks, changes occur. Impossibilities became possibilities and uncommon miracles took place.
God said to Abraham in Genesis 18:10 “I will surely return to you about this time next year and Sarah your wife will have a son”. Sarah laughed and laughed when she overheard this yet God fulfilled His Words because He does not make empty promises.
What is that situation in your life that seems so impossible? Do you have any problem that seems so difficult to solve? All you need do is leave it in God’s hands. Allow Him to speak to your situation and be still and see what the Lord can do.

Hands of God

The last statement Jesus made before He died is “Father into thy hand I commend my Spirit” Luke 23:46. Jesus knows GOD is all powerful and ALMIGHTY and that whatsoever is put in His HANDS is very safe and sound. HE alone can make things anew, He alone can do all things, and HE AND ONLY HE alone can make impossibilities be possible. God is AN UNCHANGEABLE CHANGER. A song writer wrote thus:
In the hollow of HIS Hands, In the hollow of HIS Hands
I am saved whatsoever may betide me in the hollow of HIS hands.
It is such a great assurance and relief to know that GOD’S Hands are wide enough as to contain all of us our problems inclusive. What a great relief it will be for us to hand over our concerns and problems to GOD as the Bible says “casting your cares on HIM for HE careth for you.”
