Devotional: Be Still And Know I Am God
“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10
There are many scriptures where God is calling us to action to seek justice. Simultaneous, He calls us to be still and know He is God. One version says to “cease striving and know He is God.” We encourage you to ask Him, “what does that mean in my life?”
He desires for us to do justice, to act. We believe that He doesn’t want us only to act, He wants us to know Him, the God of justice, more deeply; to immerse ourselves in His loving presence as He speaks to our hearts about His justice, both in and around our lives. Out of this is where our ministry flows. He also desires for us to not strive, but to trust Him enough in this to be still. He will be exalted here. He will be exalted in His work of justice in our community, just as in all the earth, as He declared that He will not cease until He has established justice throughout the earth. It is not by our own effort, but His righteousness that we will see slavery end. In this victorious place do we partner in seeking justice. In the midst of the movement, we encourage you to rest, ask Him “what do you want to do now, in me and through me?
