Be Still and Know God!
Today, I want to take you step-by-step on a journey to be still and “know” God in a deeply personal way. Learn to hear His voice. This changed my life. It will change yours too.
Dutch Sheets, national prayer leader and author writes:
"Spending time with God through prayer, worship, and quiet meditation tunes the soul and awakens the heart, enabling us to hear Him. Life is loud - make it quiet down once in a while. Everything else will scream for your attention, but He will not. Holy Spirit refuses to shout above the clamor and dissonance created by other voices and activities. For those who have grown to love the pleasure of His company enough to make time for Him, for those who truly listen, however, the still small voice of Holy Spirit becomes easily discernible."
Leadings from Holy Spirit are often gentle, like the “still small voice” to Elijah in 1 Kings 19:12. The Message Translation calls it “a gentle and quiet whisper,” and the NASB says “a sound of a gentle blowing.” The point is clear: God’s voice often comes to us gently. Sometimes, it isn’t a voice at all, but just a nudge, a prompting.
Learn to listen, to feel, to sense Him.

As I read this, I heard that still, small voice: “Be Still and Know that I Am God.” Psalm 46:10. I began to meditate on this verse for myself. As I wrote down what came to mind as I mediated on this familiar verse, I realized God was talking to you too. He wanted me to write what He revealed to me so you could benefit from it as well.
(070 My video: DO YOU HAVE A TEACHABLE HEART?) shows that meditating on scriptures is Biblical. See the activation in that video. https://youtu.be/3Ju7_vkbm6U
I am going to share what God showed me as Meditated on this verse. You will get the fruit – the insights of my meditation and also learn the process of Biblical meditation
Meditate - To contemplate. To think about deeply. To reflect
hagah – Hebrew – to mutter,
**One way to meditate is to Read a scripture emphasizing one word each time you read through it. The next time read through it emphasizing the next word.
**As I meditated on this, God revealed new depths of meaning of this verse. Sometimes I heard things, other times something just came to my mind. Most of those thoughts were new, sometimes they surprised me. That’s one of the ways you know it is God and not your rational mind – thoughts that surprise you. God also speaks to us using images or impressions and repetition (i.e. seeing the same verse again and again.
