Day 2: Come and Be Still

Come Before Him in Worship: Still your soul as you come into God’s presence. Take a few minutes and reorient your heart to Him by surrendering your mind through praise and adoration. Allow Him to take the chief place on the throne of your heart again. Honor him as the one to be exalted. Knowing who He is, is what makes it possible for us to be still. Take a moment and praise Him for that.

Reflect: To 'be still' means to be calm and sedate, to tremble no more. God’s people are to know that he alone will be exalted. He will maintain his honor, fulfill his counsels and support his own interests in the world. We can leave it in his hands. And as His people, He stands with us! He is on our side and is our refuge. By Him and in Him, we are sheltered and satisfied. As we trust him our fears are stilled, knowing that he secures our welfare even when there is fighting all around us.

Respond in Prayer: Father, search my heart. What is hindering me from entering completely into the rest that you offer my soul? How do you see the circumstances of our world right now?

Spirit of God, you hold all things together in your hands. Open the eyes of my understanding through wisdom and revelation. Show me your perspective of my relationships and the world so that I can sit in the seat of rest with you.
