And God said: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the LORD. And, behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the LORD; but the LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the LORD was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.”

His message hasn’t changed: Yes, “Be still, and know that I am God” is where we all need to go back. Today, we are so rushed.  Being still is not only considered a waste of time, but impossible for most of us in today’s world. How far the world has broken away from God’s ways and teachings. Yes, if you listen real close… be still…if you get away to where peaceful waters flow, you will hear His voice. Our days are numbered. His coming is close at hand… but only those who are “still” enough to hear the trumpets shall see God.

So many people say in dismay that they pray and pray yet God never answered. Oftentimes, they do not hear His answer because they never be still. How can one hear if one does not take the time to listen? We cannot hear God’s voice if we are constantly talking. They constantly complain to God and others. Even if they say nothing on the outside, inside they are still saying “Why me Lord? They never take the time to… “be still” and hear what God is saying.

Take time to rest beside the still waters He has made for you. Listen as He speaks words of love and caring in your lives each day.  To listen, to really listen, we must be quiet, we must be still.  Yes… “Be STILL and know that I AM God!” (1 King 19 11-12)
