Message Series – Be Still and Know that I Am God
One of the great chapters in the Bible is Psalm 46. It’s full of helpful language about the protection and security that we find in God. The whole thing is beautiful.
But in the middle of the Psalm there is a phrase that has captured imaginations since it was written: “Be still and know that I am God.” – Psalm 46:10
If there were ever a message we needed for our time, this would have to be it. We’re busy, distracted, disconnected, often unable to sit still in the middle of so much noise. As we all shift into a summer routine and schedule, it’s a great time to reflect on what we’ve been involved in, how we’ve scheduled our lives, etc…
Some months ago, a mentor of mine suggested thinking through this verse in pieces, beginning with the whole thing and then taking away one or two words at a time. When you do this, some interesting things happen. Look at this:
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I AM.
Be still and know.
Be still.
Be.
Each line is a different kind of message…helps us to think on a particular point of what it means to be in relationship with our Creator. So, over the next several weeks at Real Life Community, we’re going to take this one line at a time and explore some of the beauty of taking this verse in as a whole and then using it to help us center in on some great truths of the faith.
I hope you’ll join us this weekend!
Blessings,
Erik
