Psalm 46:10 ” Be still, and know that I am God.”

The original Hebrew word for “be still” doesn’t just mean “be quiet” – it means “let go.” And for most of us, that relinquishing of something near and dear of ours into the hands of God is very hard to do. We still want to have our fingers in it…still want control of it…and still want to claim it as ours. But God wants us to trust Him enough to relax our hands in submission, turn them over, and drop that “thing” into His most capable hands for safe keeping. And as our relationship with Him matures, it will become easier & easier to yield and surrender those “things” that we already know deep down are out of our control. So, let go, and know He is God…and you’ll be able to rest in and hope for a good God to work on your behalf.
