The Quietness . . . "Be Still and Know . . . ."

Wednesday - February 8, 2012

As we all have done at one time or another when we have lost a loved one, we tend to think about the quietness that surrounds us. During the past few days that quietness seems to have gotten "louder!" But this quietness was one that brought me back to a passage from Psalms that had been the theme of a Ladies Retreat I had attended several years ago.

10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”
11 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Psalm 46:9-11

So as our world seems to be changing, I felt this verse telling me to remember that God is always there . . . "Be still," and we shall feel His presence. We must be still because of what we know about God, and that He is the one who will guide us through this quiet time - this time of sorrow, just the way we knew He always would.

I have many devotionals that I read from, but this verse kept coming to me . . . I need to be still and know that God is here, and that Mom is now in His Heavenly Home.


“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth do change”
Psalm 46:1-2a
