be still

Did you realise that when the bible says "be still" that the words being translated could also be translated "let go of your grip".
Being still and knowing God is letting go of our tight grip on life and relaxing into God. Instead of working everything out and putting everything into boxes, we let God be God and realise we don't and can't work him all out.
Letting go of our tight grip means we don't have to know what's coming next. Letting go means realising that we don't have to be busy all the time. Letting go means that we don't have to be in control because he is the one who is ultimately in control. Letting go means we can be silent in his presence rather than busy praying or reading the bible.
Have you ever experienced being held by someone you love and not a word is being said? That's what we need to do with God more often, allow him to hold us in silence.
