The psalmist wrote, “Be still, and know that I am God” (46:10). Paul exhorted the Philippians to be “be anxious for nothing” (Phil.4:6). And Peter instructed his readers to cast all their cares on God (1 Peter 5:7)
Dear friend, how can someone stop worrying and be “still”? Only through prayer and trust in the loving God (Phil. 4:6-7). Those who cast their care on Him can set aside the noise and confusion, ambitions and strivings, and enter into the peace of God (v.7)
Listen this doesn’t mean that those who are “Still” before the Lord will escape life’s danger and dilemmas, but it does mean they will have the ability to live with tranquility in the midst of them. Through trouble may remain, the confusion, apprehension, and despair begins to fade away. Such people show poise under pressure; they’re unshaken by life’s alarms; they radiate peace where ever they go.
Dear Brother and Sister, If you’ve never acquainted yourself with the depths of God’s love and His call for you to live in that love, your life will be filled with anxiety and cares. You’ll often be fretful and restless always looking for that illusive “something more.”
When you learn to turn your confidence toward God and cast your cares on Him, you can be calm in the midst of life’s demands
Thought for the day: Because God cares for you; you can leave your cares with Him.
