let god show you who he is

Psalm 46:10-11, TPT
Surrender your anxiety! Be silent and stop your striving and you will see that I am God. I am the God above all the nations, and I will be exalted throughout the whole earth.”

There is a whole series of sermons in this stunning Psalm but as we focus on verse 10 we see in it an instruction that comes with a promise.

You may have heard me speak about how I have a habit of crashing into the throne room of God with my (many!) requests. And that’s a great thing to do. But there are times when I need to button it. To hand over my worries and concerns, to stop talking, stop trying to fix it myself, and just listen. Because it is then that God shows himself faithful. And he shows himself fighting for me (verse 11: The God of Jacob fights for us!).

This verse doesn’t say he fills the silence with speaking; it says he fills the silence by showing us who he is! And I think we need that revelation of who God is right now.

Surrender your anxiety. Stop talking. And let God show you who he is!

Let's pray
Thank you Jesus that you made it possible for me to crash into the throne room of the Father but you also showed me what it is to be still and know who he is. Holy Spirit, calm and settle me today. Whatever I or others face remind me that my Heavenly Father is God above all the nations. He will be exalted and one day every knee will bow at the name of Jesus. Amen.
