Be Still

“Be still and know that I am God”
How hard it is this way to trod
I seek to be still and to know
But what happens is there to show

That my mind wanders far away
And I realize I’m not still today.
I grow flustered and on edge
Even though, once anew, I pledge

To not let it happen again
Wouldn’t you know it then
It happens once more to me?
I think it does so I will see

That I need to depend on Him
So I won’t go with just any whim.
I’m so thankful to His Word
He is always undeterred.

He knows what He’s doing
And He’s always accomplishing
What is needed in my heart
Since it takes trials to impart

That stillness to know He alone
Is always on His eternal throne.

  1. Yes be still and know that God is God.
    Be aware that the contemplative spiritual formation advocates promote BE STILL to advocate their meditation which they wrongly deny, that it is not Eastern mystical meditation.

  2. Thanks for mentioning that, T.I. Miller. You are spot on with your assessment and I highly disagree with their understanding. Another aspect of that would be the yoga. I had friends who cut me off because I disagreed with their understanding of yoga.
