Be still
Be Still
Sounds simple, right?
But have you ever asked a toddler to be still?
Or a dog?
Or tried to be still while waiting on something that matters deeply to you?
It turns out that something so simple isn’t always easy.
When God asks us to “be still,” He’s not just talking about folding our hands in our lap or sitting criss-cross applesauce. Yes, sometimes He does call us to physical stillness. But more often, He’s inviting us into a deeper stillness—one that takes place in our spirit.
He’s saying: stop striving. Stop spinning your wheels in the mud. Stop trying to fix what only He can heal.
This kind of stillness can show up in every area of life.
You might be worn out trying to save your marriage, doing everything you can to be the “perfect” spouse—and God is simply saying: be still. Yes, still serve. Still show up. But surrender the pressure to fix it all.
You might be trying to hustle your way out of a financial hole, micromanaging your kids' future, or controlling the outcomes of your mental or emotional battles. But sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is to rest your spirit in the truth that God is already working.
When we stop trying to be our own savior, things begin to shift. Sometimes quickly. Sometimes slowly. But always with His perfect timing.
So the next time you feel that small whisper saying “Be still,” don’t panic. It doesn’t mean abandon your responsibilities. It doesn’t mean crawl under the covers and disappear. It means walk through your day with a quiet spirit, fully convinced that God is holding it all.
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.”
— Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
Whatever you’re facing today, just remember: He’s got it.
He is the solution.
That’s what was on my heart today.
Talk to y’all soon.
