Stillness

 

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!
Psalm 37:7 (ESV)
 
Be still has no hidden meaning. It means be still. Those who are not still before God will fret over the circumstances of this life. Meaningful relationships require "still time."
 
Being still implies both listening and, as mentioned in the verse, waiting patiently. God's timing is not always evident, but He will always work things out, in the end, the way it should be for those who love Him.
 
Loving God is defined as doing what God says. This is a unique response to God because God is always right. Loving each other means to do whatever is "best" for the other person. This changes because we change.
 
That is why, the wise are those who are "still" before God then active carrying out His orders. This is perhaps, most appropriate in prayer. Constantly telling God what to do is not wise, but sitting and pondering what God is doing and saying is quite valuable. Be still…..
