[The Glory Unveiled]
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” [ Psalms 46:10 NIV ]
A call to stillness is not a call to inactivity; it is a call to absolute dependence on Jesus. Stillness is the posture of trust. It is the place where striving dies and faith begins to speak. God told the Israelites, “Be still, and see the salvation of the Lord.” He assured them that He would fight for them if only they would hold their peace. Their victory was not going to come through panic, noise, or human effort, but through confidence in the God who goes before His people. Stillness is where we enter into rest. And when we truly enter into God’s rest, we cease from self-dependence and give God room to work on our behalf. Many never witness the power of God because they are too consumed with anxiety, distractions, fleshly activity, and the noise of the world to discern His movement. You cannot behold the glory of God while your soul is governed by restlessness. Stillness silences deception. It quiets the flesh. It separates us from the chaos that keeps our hearts alive to the world but dull toward God. In stillness, we begin to see clearly. We become sensitive to the wonders of God, His voice, His attributes, His dealings, and His power. We discover that God reveals Himself most deeply to hearts that are quiet enough to listen. So when Scripture calls us to be still, it is calling us to die to everything that keeps us restless, self-driven, and attached to the world. And as we die to the world, we become fully alive to God—able to behold His works, walk in His rest, and witness His glory.
