Scripture: Psalm 46:10-Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. (King James Version)
Devotional: Be still. Even when the winds and storms look too big and Goliath looks like a huge giant, BE STILL. God is going to back you up every step of the way. You may seem small but God desires to use you. God loves to use those who are rejected by others to do beautiful things. That’s how He is. Don’t worry about anyone overlooking you. This is said with love, you’ll shine on your own because with God’s help, you can achieve anything. But be prepared when God starts prompting you to ask for help. God established leadership for a reason. Be still doesn’t mean stop working on you and taking care of your daily duties. It means stay calm and just know that God’s got this!
Prayer: Father God, help me to be still and know who you are. Help me to know that you fight my battles in the spiritual realm. Whenever the enemy comes before your presence to accuse me of something like he did with Job, you give me strength to continue against the devil and his schemes. Help us to see exactly what’s going on behind the scenes of this world and help us to cling to you and be still. I pray not just for myself but for those that I love so that you can eventually help them to be still as well and know that you’re God and you have no favoritism towards anyone. You’d see us all through. Help us to have faith, be at peace, and know that you will be exalted among the nations (people).
In Jesus’s name, I pray, amen.

Reflection: Everywhere you go, ponder the fact that no matter how big this world looks…God is bigger. No anxiety, worry, lack of something, or increase of anything should shake you from standing within the foundation of Jesus Christ and being still! Knowledge has power! But you have dominion over yourself! Choose today what thoughts you’ll allow in your head, God’s word or doubt, fear, etc. Choose wisely and the better end! The destructive road? Is easy to access but the narrow road is hard to stay in. Despite difficulties, stay in the narrow road, for your reward awaits in heaven!
