“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” (Psalm 46:10 ESV)
In our busy, uncertain lives, it’s easy to forget that God is in control. Psalm 46:10 calls us to pause and recognize God’s sovereignty. For those exploring faith or wrestling with doubt, this verse invites us to be still, to release our striving, and to trust that God is working, even when we cannot see it.
“It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.” (Acts 1:7 ESV)
We often crave answers—especially when life feels confusing. But Acts 1:7 reminds us that God’s timing is not ours to control. This can be freeing. Whether you’re seeking meaning or stability, this verse encourages surrender, trusting that God holds your future in His hands.
“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done.”(Revelation 22:12 ESV)
Jesus’ promise to return reassures us that He is coming to make all things right. While we wait, He calls us to live faithfully. This hope is an anchor for those struggling with doubt or searching for deeper meaning, reminding us that waiting on God is never wasted.
- Contemplative Practice: Spend five minutes in silence, reflecting on the phrase, “Be still and know that I am God.”
- Practical Practice: Identify one area of life where you’re trying to rush and take a small, intentional step toward surrendering that to God.
- Where are you struggling to trust God’s timing?
- How can you invite Him into your uncertainty?
“Lord, I surrender my need for control. Help me trust in Your perfect timing. Give me peace as I wait for Your will to unfold.”
