Being Still in a Busy World


In a world that never seems to slow down, the call to “be still” can feel almost impossible. Yet, God invites us into moments of stillness—not just as an escape from the chaos, but as a way to truly know Him.

Scripture is filled with reminders of the importance of being still. In Exodus 14:14, we’re told, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” And in Isaiah 30:15, God says, “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength.” These verses remind us that stillness isn’t about inactivity—it’s about trust, rest, and allowing God to work in our lives.
