There is strength in sitting still. That’s what it says in Isaiah 30:7.
It is a stillness borne of trust.
Not quiet tension, for quiet tension is not trust; it is compressed anxiety.
It all boils down to what Jesus said in John 16:33.
In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
Do we believe that or not?
Okay, let’s stop with the “we”!
Do *I* believe that or not? Yes! Let’s personalize this!
On occasion, I am prone to fly to pieces with inward turmoil …
when suddenly that familiar and gentle still, small voice whispers in the deepest part of my soul …
… Be still and know that I am God.
And so I compose myself into perfect stillness and constrain my troubled spirit into quietness.
And, strangely, out of this stillness seems to arise a power to deal with the disorder.
And I am at peace.
