Psalm 46:10a- “Be still and know that I am God.”
I recently decided to “dig deeper” into the meaning of scripture by apply a technique that I used in college when studying for exams. I have chosen the short, but powerful, verse from Psalm 46 to illustrate.
By emphasizing a word at a time, I can peel back the layers. Here’s what I mean:
“Be still and know that I am God.” (Stop the busyness and striving. I need to listen to Him more and enjoy His presence).
“Be still and know that I am God.” (If I am still, I can know—gain understanding—be sure… )
“Be still and know that I am God.” (I shouldn’t try to be in control. I am not God. He is! I need to trust in Him.)
“Be still and know that I am God.” (He’s not just some great and capable person. He is the almighty God… the Creator… our Savior. I need to meditate on who God is… His attributes… wisdom… His power… I need to trust in Him. There is nothing He cannot do!)
By emphasizing a word or phrase at a time, I find deeper meaning and greater understanding. And, as I meditate on scripture, I find myself drawing nearer to HIM.
