This is one of the Bible's most quoted verses, yet one of the hardest ones to live up to. We delight ourselves in the Lord. We want Him to give us the desires of our hearts. But we often forget that unless we delight ourselves in Him enough to want what He wants, we will settle for the self-centered desires of our hearts. One of the desires of His heart is to see the nations streaming to His kingdom. Is that the desire of your heart?
Pray that the Holy Spirit will prompt us to desire what He wants for the nations.
"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
So often we remember the first part of this verse but forget the second part. Be still and know that I am God, is used as an exhortation to put our faith in God in any situation. Yes, we must have faith in Him no matter what may happen. But there is a definite purpose to being still: to know that He will be exalted in all the earth. Does it give us peace and joy to know that the glorious One will be exalted among the nations?
Pray that we as Christ's followers will not disobey His purposes by being satisfied with "being still" while unreached nations like the Yashkuns still wait to hear of His glory.
