Be Still...

This morning I was reminded by a good friend, that as I continue to recover, I need to remember that God is in control. In the course of the conversation, I was reminded to “Be Still.” For anyone who knows me, you already know that being still does not come easily for me… But I am working on getting better at it. (Two major surgeries in 10 months tend to slow a person down whether they want to be slowed down or not)!! Our Praise Team at church is currently working on a song that one of our worship leaders heard in Tennessee and brought back for us to learn. The song is called “Still” and it is not only beautiful, but it is an important reminder.

This song is so comforting to me. It gives me great hope to be reminded that we can hide under His wings, and that His hand covers us each and everyday. It is an awesome relief to know that He is in control, and that He rules over everything. In the midst of trouble, illness, or despair it is sometimes hard to remember that He has a plan, and that we need to trust Him. As the song says, we find rest in Him, and in Him alone. I can’t tell you how many times I have tried to find respite somewhere else, only to fail miserably. God is the only answer. When we are still, and acknowledge that He is God, and allow Him to be our King, our trials don’t seem to be so big.


Still
(Words and music by Rueben Morgan)

Hide me now
Under Your wings.
Cover me
Within Your mighty hand.
When the oceans rise and
Thunders roar,
I will soar with You
Above the storm.
Father You are King
Over the flood.
I will be still
And know You are God.

Find rest my soul
In Christ alone.
Know His pow’r
In quietness and trust.
When the oceans rise and
Thunders roar,
I will soar with You
Above the storm.
Father You are King
Over the flood.
I will be still
And know You are God.

Yes, I will be still
And know You are God.
