BE STILL

READ:
Psalm 46

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Psalm 46:10

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Jeremiah 30-31
Philemon

Eric Liddell, memorialised in the film, Chariots of Fire, won a gold medal in the 1924 Paris Olympics before going to China as a missionary. Some years later, with the outbreak of World War II, Liddell sent his family to safety in Canada but remained in China. Soon, Liddell and other foreign missionaries were interned in a Japanese detainment camp. After months of captivity, he developed what doctors feared was a brain tumour.
Every Sunday afternoon, a band would play near the hospital. So one day, Liddell requested they play the hymn "Be still my soul". As he listened, I wonder if Eric pondered these words from the song: Be still my soul: the hour is hastening on/When we shall be foreign with the Lord/When disappointment, grief and fear are gone/Sorrow forgotten, love's purest joys restored/Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past/All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
The beautiful hymn, so comforting to Eric as he faced an illness that led to his death 3 days later, expresses a great reality of scripture. In Psalm 46:10, David wrote, "Be still and know that I am God". In our darkest moments, we can rest for our Lord conquered death on our behalf. Be still and allow Him to calm your greatest fears. - Bill Crowder
Teach me Lord to still my soul before you,
Help me to bear patiently the trials I face,
And to leave everything to you to direct and provide,
I know that you will always remain faithful

God's whisper of comfort quiets the noise of our trials.
