The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.
- Exodus 14:14 (NIV)
I have some things weighing heavy on my heart recently, things that keep me awake at night and steal my joy in the day.
We have read “be still” in the Bible, heard it in church and Sunday school, seen it plastered on posters, t-shirts, billboards and home décor.
We tell our children and our anxious racing hearts to be still, but what does it really mean?
My dear friend sang this song Sunday morning, I am not sure if it was the lyrics or her beautiful voice that very nearly brought me to tears.
I don't want to be afraid
Every time I face the waves
I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to be afraid
I don't want to fear the storm
Just because I hear it roar
I don't want to fear the storm
I don't want to fear the storm
Peace be still
Say the word and I will
Set my feet upon the sea
Till I'm dancing in the deep
Peace be still
You are here so it is well
Even when my eyes can't see
I will trust the voice that speaks
I'm not gonna be afraid
'Cause these waves are only waves
I'm not gonna be afraid
I'm not gonna be afraid
I'm not gonna fear the storm
You are greater than it's roar
I'm not gonna fear the storm
I'm not gonna fear at all
Peace be still
Say the word and I will
Set my feet upon the sea
Till I'm dancing in the deep
Peace be still
You are here so it is well
Even when my eyes can't see
I will trust the voice that speaks
Peace peace over me
Let faith rise up
Oh heart believe
Let faith rise up in me
Peace be still
Say the word and I will
Set my feet upon the sea
Till I'm dancing in the deep
Peace be still
You are here so it is well
Even when my eyes can't see
I will trust the voice that speaks
Peace peace over me
We don’t have to be afraid of the storms because we are not alone, we are never ever alone.
Sometimes we just need to go to a quite place and tell God that we are ready to listen.
Then be still.
