Be Still

What is your favorite part of this verse?

  Therefore, let your hearts be comforted concerning Zion; for all flesh is in mine hands; be still and know that I am God.

Doctrine & Covenants 101:16

There is a lot of anxiety in the world today. Perhaps there is a lot to worry about: the economy, personal income, health, family, nuclear weapons, disease, war.  If we are not careful, we could become a real mess of apprehension and angst.

But look back at what that verse is saying. We are in God’s hands, unless we have chosen to jump out His hands. Because God is all powerful and perfectly good, and all knowing, we can choose to be at peace, even though the world is troubled.

Today’s Takeaway: We need to still ourselves, take a slow breath, and relax. Even though this world is fallen, and bad things might happen, we can be at peace. God’s plan is perfect.  If we will stay with Him, God will make it all right.  Trust Him.
