“Be Still and Know”
CeCe Winans
Focus:
Finding peace, clarity, and strength in the stillness of God’s presence
Scripture References (NIV):
• Psalm 46:10 — “He says, ‘Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.’”
• Exodus 14:14 — “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
Devotion:
CeCe Winans sings what our hearts often forget: “Be still and know.” In a world that demands motion, God invites stillness. Not silence from Him—but surrender from us. Stillness isn’t weakness—it’s worship. It’s the posture of trust when the battle feels too big and the answers feel too far.
When you quiet your soul, you make room for God to speak, move, and fight on your behalf. Today, resist the urge to rush. Lay down the need to fix. Let your stillness be your strength. Because when you stop striving, you start seeing—He is God, and He is near.
Reflection:
1. What noise or pressure do you need to release today to embrace stillness?
2. How can you create space to hear God more clearly?
Prayer:
Lord, I choose to be still. I release my worries, my plans, and my pace. Help me rest in Your presence and trust in Your power. You are God—and that’s enough for me today. Amen.
Action steps:
1. Set aside 10 minutes today for quiet reflection—no phone, no agenda, just stillness.
2. Say aloud: “I will be still and know that He is God.”
3. Share this devotion and the song “Be Still and Know” with someone who needs peace in their storm.
Remember:
Stillness isn’t the absence of movement—it’s the presence of trust.
