"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth." This really is probably the most wonderful phrase in the whole Bible. It really is the whole Bible in a nutshell. "Be still, and know that I am God." This is just the very last thing that we want to do when we are worried or anxious. The current of human thought that Paul calls carnal mind is hurrying us along to its own ends, and it seems much easier to swim with it by accepting difficulties, by rehearsing grievances, by dwelling upon symptoms, than to draw resolutely away in thought from these things, and contemplate God, which is the one way out of trouble.
Train yourself to rise above this hurrying tide of error~ error is always hurried; to sweep you off your feet is its master strategy~ and, turning your back upon conditions, however bad they may seem, be still, and know that I am God.
