Be Still, My Soul
Be still, my soul! your God does undertake
To guide the future as he has the past;
Your hope, your confidence, let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul! the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he lived below.
Kathrina von Schlegel, 1792
So much talking in our world today.
God wants us to listen.
Listen to Him.
He has much to tell us.
He has much to teach us.
His Holy Spirit is constantly wooing, beckoning us to sit at His feet.
Like Mary, not Martha who was worried and busy with many earthly things.
It is hard to be calm in the midst of the storm.
Like when Jesus said, “Peace, be still.” to calm the storm the disciples were in.
Jesus was not worried. He was sleeping, on a pillow.
He knew the Father had Him in His hand.
We too should know that our lives are in His hand.
Once our lives are no longer ours, and we are called according to His purpose,
we can then rest assured that He is working all things together for our good.
Give Jesus some quiet time.
In the stillness of your heart.
Adoring and cherishing His majestic awesomeness and wonder.
Just listening.
See what He shows you or tells you.
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: John 10:27
Be still, in His presence.
