Be still, and know the I am God

Practicing the presence of God

As I write this the world in in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. People are worried! None of us have lived through times like these. But we need to remember we are not left alone, God remains with us.

In this time of worry and stress we need to take time to practice the presence of God.  I mean, realising that God is constantly with us. There is nowhere we can go that God is not there.

Life can be filled with worries and cares: rushing from one task to another. However, we need to slow down and consider our great God and Saviour. We need to consider how loving and mighty He is. We need to reflect on the fact that even though life here on earth can be very hard, we have a home with God, eternal in the heavens. 

When we consider God we realise that though His command the heavens and earth were created. Through His power all things remain. All things are kept by His will and we are His Children.

"Where can I go from Your Spirit? 
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there; 
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the dawn, 
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me, 
And Your right hand will lay hold of me."  Psa. 139:7-10

Spend time each day in contemplation of God. Remember, "Be still, and know I am God." Ps 46:10.

Go to God in prayer - and spend time with Him each day.
