Calm and Quiet Your Soul!

 

Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me. Psalm 131:2, NKJV Calm and Quiet Your Soul King David faced constant dangers, enemy attacks, and betrayals. He had a lot of reasons to live worried, afraid, and panicked, but he gives us a secret to live above today’s noise—the bad news, the economic rumors, the divisiveness, our own worries. King David said, “I have calmed and quieted my soul.” On a regular basis, you need to quiet your soul. Still your emotions. Come back to a place of peace. That’s a powerful place. When the battle is all around you, thoughts tell you to panic, to worry and be afraid. That’s when you have to take charge and quiet your soul. The enemy would love for you to live noisy and troubled, but the Scripture says, “Be still and know that I am God.” This infers that if you’re not still, if you don’t quiet your soul, you’re not going to know He’s God. You’re not going to feel His presence and see His goodness as you should. The real battle is taking place in your mind. You have to make this decision: “I am quieting my soul. I will not fear.” A Prayer for Today “Father, thank You that I can calm and quiet my soul, that I can be still and know that You are God. Help me to let go of the things that come against me and stop trying to change things over which I have no control. I declare that I’m going to stay in peace and know that You’ve got this. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
