Be Still
After the first command of Psalm 46,the second follows....
The second command is "Be Still, and know that I am God." Be still. Quit rushing through the streets long enough to become aware that there is more to life than your little self-help enterprises. When we are noisy and when weare hurried, we are incapable of intimacy--deep, complex, personal relationships. If God is the living center of redemption, it is essential that we be in touch with and responsive to that personal will. If God has a will for this world and we want to be in on it, we must be sill long enough to find out what it is (for we certainly are not going to learn b watching the evening news). Baron von Hugel, who has a wise word on most subjects, always held out that "nothing was ever accomplished in a stampede."
Step out of the traffic! Take a long,
loving look at me, your High God,
above politics, above everything.
Psalm 46:10
