He says, “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 NIV
Remaining still while waiting is not passive, it is active. It takes a tremendous amount of restraint to be still in a culture that is moving at warp speed. Always in motion, busy, productive, consumed with instant results and gratification. The lie that our worth is found in what we do and not in who we are is repeated everywhere we turn.
Believing in the Gospel is counter intuitive. We have to continually swim upriver against the path of least resistance. Our worth is not found in “doing” but in becoming more like Christ. The power of His Resurrection working in and through us. Active, alive and moving. Restoring and healing the whole of our broken and battered lives.
