Stillness and Surrender
In the midst of siege, the Lord through the psalmist wrote, "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10). When we are overwhelmed, unsure, and panicking, God's Word tells us to pause, shift our focus from our circumstances and ourselves, remember who He is, and trust Him with our lives. Jesus modeled this for us when He was taken prisoner in the garden of Gethsemane. While His disciples struck out at others and fled in fear, Jesus stood firm, remained calm, and surrendered Himself to God's plan (see John 18:4-11).
