"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
Have you ever tried to catch the sound of a whisper in a thunderstorm? It’s impossible, isn’t it? Yet so often, we try to hear God’s voice amid the whirlwind of daily life. The problem isn’t that God isn’t speaking—it’s that we’ve forgotten how to quiet the storm around us.
Psalm 46:10 gives us the antidote: Be still. In stillness, the noise of life fades, and the whisper of God becomes clear. Throughout Scripture, we see this truth. Elijah didn’t encounter God in the earthquake, wind, or fire, but in the gentle whisper on Mount Horeb. David heard God in the solitude of the fields, composing psalms that still resonate today. And even Jesus, amidst His ministry, often withdrew to desolate places to pray and reconnect with the Father.
Finding your sacred space doesn’t require a mountaintop. It’s about intentionality. Maybe it’s a chair in your living room where you sit with your Bible before anyone else is awake. Perhaps it’s a quiet bench at the park or a pause in your car before stepping into the day’s demands. Wherever it is, that place becomes holy ground when you meet God there.
God isn’t waiting for grand gestures; He’s longing for a moment of stillness. When we carve out these moments, the noise of life recedes, and His voice comes into focus.
Let’s Pray:
Lord, teach us to embrace the stillness, to silence the chaos, and to prioritize Your voice above all else. Show us the sacred spaces in our lives and draw us closer to You in those moments. Amen.
Let’s get to work!
