Be Still and Know...
On a recent visit with my sister, Martha, I enjoyed a cool Florida morning as I gazed across the still waters of the lake outside her screened porch.  The glassy water reflected the pastels of the sunrise, the tall trees of the shoreline and the clouds drifting across the sky.  A great blue heron gracefully glided across the lake, occasionally flapping its giant wings.  Without a ripple marring the surface, the lake became a mirror of everything surrounding it.

Psalm 46:10 instructs us to "Be still and know that I am God."  It is easy to become distracted and anxious.  It is especially ironic that in a season when we are celebrating the birth of our Savior that we can feel overwhelmed with the added demands of the holiday season.  But in the midst of our daily chaos, God lovingly instructs us to "Be still". 

Be still and know His goodness.  Be still and know His love.  Be still and know His truth.  Be still and know His faithfulness.  Be still and know His grace.  Be still and know His joy.  Be still and know His strength.  Be still and know His hope.  Be still and know His peace.
Instead of letting worry ripple across the surface of our souls, stealing our joy and marring our peace, let us purpose to be still before Him.  The Lord is near to you.  Do not be anxious about anything but in every situation by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

As our souls are still before Him and His peace permeates our core, we become mirrors of His love, grace and mercy.  The still waters of our soul reflect His goodness to others who are desperate for a Savior.  Jesus is that Savior.  As Hebrew 1:3 declares, "The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being".


Father God, as anxiety and troubles stir the surface of our souls, we ask for You to still the waters.  Focus our hearts and minds on You and Your character.  We want to mirror Your likeness to a hurting world.  Deliver us from fear.  Deliver us from evil.  Let us be true reflections of Your goodness and grace.  In the Name of Jesus, the Perfect Mirror, we pray.

2 Corinthians 3:18 We all, with unveiled faces, are looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory; this is from the Lord who is the Spirit.
