Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. (Psalm 46:10)
Most of the time we act on impulse and don't think about what to do in situations that frustrate or upset us. Often the situation would turn out better and in our favor if we would take the time to remember this one small verse. It is no question in our mind as Christians that God, is God. But, we sometime put limits on God. We don't limit him on purpose, it's just human nature that we fall subject to.
To "be still" in this verse is not meaning in order for some preparation to take place, it is talking about getting ready for judgement, that is why the rest of the verse goes on to say "I will be exalted among heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." When Judgement day comes everyone and everything is going to realize that God is God and in that moment they will begin to realize that God is one to be exalted, praised, and worshipped.
But, in those times when we get upset or frustrated if we would stand still and listen for the voice of God, our circumstances would change. Instead of jumping to conclusions and acting on impulse, give God a chance to tell you what to do in your circumstance. Let God lead and guide you in the way he wants you to go.
Why waste our time running in circles and not getting anywhere, don't limit God. Don't just allow God to move just when you go to church or prayer ask God to move in every aspect of your life. Allow him to move at you job, in your car, in your house while you clean or watch t.v., allow him to move at anytime or place in your life.
If we would listen more carefully and talk less, God would be able to speak more clearly and understandably in our lives. Listen twice as much as you talk. I found it works a lot better than talking,and talking, and not listening to what God has to say. Next time circumstances get rough or you get upset or frustrated, take a deep breath, be still, know God is God, and listen for his voice.
