Be Still And Know

Psalms 46:10: Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

If we are to have a good relationship with Almighty God, do His will in the hustle, bustle and noise of this life and be the blessing He wants us to be to others we will need to have some time alone with Him who loves us more than anyone else can. Time alone with Him would be time spent reading what he has written for you, the Bible, it would include thinking about Him and His words (meditating), it would include prayer and it would include hearing and heeding His voice. It would be a shame if we never made time to get into His presence and be still before Him.

Mark 6:30: And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught. 31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure so much as to eat. 32 And they departed into a desert place by ship privately.
