Holy Stillness
Scripture
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Devotional
Stillness can feel uncomfortable after years of solving, managing, and moving. We may fill the quiet with news, chores, or worry because silence leaves room for feelings we have postponed. Yet God does not invite you into stillness to leave you alone with yourself. He invites you there to know Him. Being still does not mean doing nothing forever. It means loosening your grip long enough to remember who carries the world. God remains God when your calendar is full and when it is almost empty. Sit with Him for a few unhurried minutes today. You do not have to impress Him with words. Let His presence become the place where your soul settles.
Reflection
What do I tend to use to avoid quiet, and what might God want to meet there?
Prayer
Lord, teach my restless heart to be still before You. Remind me that You are God and I am safe in Your care. Amen.
One Small Step Today
Sit in silence for five minutes with Psalm 46:10. When your mind wanders, gently return to the words 'Be still.'
