Be Still
Today's Scripture
"Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10, NIV).
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
In this day and age, our culture has gotten used to having constant activity going on: computers, cell phones, television, email, video games. There's nothing wrong with any of that stuff, but the Bible tells us that we need to stop and be still so we can focus on knowing God. I've found this to be true especially during the difficult times. When you are facing a challenge, it's easy to want to run to a friend or talk about it with a co-worker, but at some point, you have to stop and say, "God, I rest in You. I know You have me in the palm of Your hand." Remember, our battles are spiritual battles. The people in your life aren't the source of your problems, the forces of darkness are. When you choose to be still and know that the Greater One lives on the inside of you, you are putting yourself in a position of strength. So today, take time to be still before Him. Let His peace cover you. Let Him refresh you by His Spirit. Remember, the battles you face belong to the Lord. Be still before Him so you can see His hand of victory in every area of your life!
A Prayer for Today
Father in heaven, I humbly come before You. I choose to be still before You. Speak to my heart so I can know You more. Fill me with Your peace as I put my trust in You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Yeah, Vision, it really is. For some reason, everytime I am reminded of these words I am moved a bit. Like a nudge. Know what I mean?

It’s a core truth of life.
Food for thought, maybe why cities are usually insane.
