Ps. 46:10 "Be silent,
and know that I am God! I will be
honored by every nation. I will be
honored throughout the whole world."
Can we know the Lord if
we are not silent? We tend to do all the
talking. We know what we need and want
and we tell the Lord about them with little thought given to being still long
enough to listen. When was the last time
you really set aside time to just focus on who our God is? God wants to make himself known to us on a
deep level. He wants us to grasp just
how sufficient He is to meet all of our needs.
He wants us to linger in His love and holiness. He wants us to know that He alone is God and
beside Him there is no other.
Being still and silent
before the Lord is important because it stops us from interjecting our opinions
and imposing our wills on the Lord. We
learn best from Him when we simply wait on Him in silence and hear what He has
to say. Silence enables us to observe
the display of God in creation, life, and our lives. It enables us to experience the awe of who
God is.
We cannot be silent
unless we are still and we cannot be still until we stop and get off the cycle
of life's busyness. Being silent
requires us to come before Him with no agenda but to listen to Him. It is a deliberate setting aside of
everything that would distract us. It is
a deliberate immersing ourselves in the presence of God. It is waiting. It is lingering until we indeed hear from
God.
God declares His
sovereignty over the world. He makes it
very clear that He is God. Even though
the world does not recognize or acknowledge Him today, there is coming a day in
which every knee shall bow before Him and honor Him as God. Today, the world is too busy running away
from God fulfilling their evil pleasures to acknowledge and honor God. Those days are numbered. God will not be mocked. He is Lord over all the nations of the world
and all will honor Him someday as Lord.
Is He your Lord today?
