Scripture: “Be still, and know that I am God! I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth.” — Psalm 46:10 (NRSV)
Reflection:
The silence of God is not absence—it is depth. In the stillness, we learn that God’s sovereignty surpasses our need for constant explanation. Trusting that God’s purposes outlast our understanding is to be still and know.
This kind of faith is mature, not naïve. It lets go of the need to control outcomes and admits that God’s glory will shine through—even when we can’t see how. Stillness creates space for wonder. It reminds us that our story is part of a bigger one, written by hands far steadier than our own.
Application:
Turn off all media and noise for one hour today. Let the silence be an offering to God. Notice how the quiet changes your awareness.
Writing Prompt:
How do I experience God’s presence in silence? What truths or assurances come up when I stop trying to fill the space?
Prayer:
Majestic God, meet me in the holy quiet. Let your silence speak peace into my spirit, and remind me that you are exalted above all the noise of this world. Amen.
