WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL: The Strength of Stillness - Jamaicans and Jamaica - Jamaicans.com

The Strength of Stillness

The strength of stillness lies in what it reveals. When we stop striving, we begin to see God clearly.

Anxiety blurs our vision, but stillness sharpens it. Stillness is not weakness; it is strength under control.

A Call to Spiritual Composure

Psalm 46 is written amid chaos—nations rage, kingdoms fall, and the earth trembles.

Be still, and know that I am God

This command is not an invitation to passivity but a call to spiritual composure. God is not asking His people to do nothing. He is instructing them to cease striving, to stop fighting battles that belong to Him.

True stillness is not found in silence alone but in surrender, a quiet confidence rooted in knowing who God is.

When God says, “Be still,” He is addressing both the noise around us and the unrest within us.

We often fill our prayers with anxious words and our days with frantic activity, as though control could create peace.
