Be Still and Know: Finding Peace in God's Life-Giving River

The first line of Psalm 46:10 is printed on more knick-knacks and trinkets than any other verse in the Bible. You'll see it in its signature flowing script font on coffee mugs, wind chimes, greeting cards, nightlights and more. But rather than a call to mere stillness for stillness's sake, this verse emerges as a beacon of hope amidst a backdrop of chaos and upheaval. The psalm paints a vivid picture of a world in turmoil - nations raging, kingdoms tottering, and the earth itself melting. Yet it's precisely in these moments of crisis that God's voice rings out, reminding us of His sovereignty and presence. In this message Brock challenges us to find our stillness not in the absence of storms, but in the eye of them, anchored to the unshakeable truth of who God is. As we navigate our own turbulent times, we're encouraged to tap into the life-giving river flowing from God's throne - a source of renewal, purification, and hope that remains constant regardless of our circumstances. This fresh perspective on a familiar verse invites us to deepen our faith, finding peace not in our surroundings, but in our unwavering connection to God.
