The Hebrew word translated “be still” actually means, “take your hands off.” God is saying to us, “Take your hands off, and let Me be God in your life.

“Faith is living without scheming.” If we play God in our lives, everything is going to fall apart. But if we let Him truly be God in our lives, He will be exalted, He will be with us and He will get the job done.

We can roll the stone away from the tomb of Lazarus, but only He can raise the dead. We can hand out the bread, but only He can multiply it. To remain still seems to go against human nature. We want control. But as a believer, we need to remain yielded to God’s will and give our burden to Him. Let Him be God in your life and allow Him to work in your life.
