Introduction: Do you feel tired? Stressed? Overloaded with information? How can we relax?
Several thoughts:
1. Sit Back – and know that God is in control! (Psa 46:10)
“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
With all the suffering and injustice going on in our world, it seems like God is not in control. But remember. We are free moral agents. Secondly, we live in a sin-cursed world.
2. Relax – the Lord will be exalted in all the earth! (Psa 46:10)
“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.”
The words “be still” is רָפָה (raw-faw’), which means to sink, or to relax. When we know that God is our God…
- Our Shepherd, (Psa 23:1)
- Our Friend (Prov 18:24)
- Our Redeemer (Job 19:25)
- Our Life (Col 3:4)
- Our Savior (Acts 4:12)
- Our Lord (Phil 2:10,11)
- Our Lover (Gal 2:20)
Conclusion: Why worry? No need to be afraid! Jesus is near. Jesus is here. Therefore, we need not fear!
Love y’all,
