Psa 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!"

Running has a way of quieting the soul, a release of all of the world’s noise. I have always enjoyed the aspect of quieting myself while I run. When I do this, I have rhythm and I do not worry about the time, the pace, or the distance. Instead, all of those details just happen. However, this is not always the case for me. Some days, I am so focused on the time,the pace, or my form. This all becomes a hindrance, and I lose that harmony that I can have with the run. Yes, all of those details are important, but when we lose our sense of “being still” in our run, we lose the reason why many of us began running.

We do this many days with God. We are so concerned with trying to “figure out” how we can adjust this or fix that. We consume our minds with the “what ifs”. As humans, we find it hard to be still and trust in God’s work. First, before we can be still and know that He is God, we must surrender ourselves over to Him. We must ask HIm to help us to be still and listen, because in our chaotic world, being still and listening can be difficult. Try it. Be still before the Lord and know that He is God.
