You don’t need to be here, reading this. You are not obligated or coerced except by the exercise of your own free will. You have within your nature and cognitive power the opportunity to turn aside and not continue reading. Some will, some won’t. I remember reading Matthew Henry said “There are none so blind as those who will not see”. 
We choose what we are willing to take in. We take in what we choose. We can be influenced, encouraged and positioned to take it in, but we choose. Then we decide what to do with what we have ingested.
If the “I am” that I am, insists on being of greater importance than the “I am” that someone else is, I am making judgments related to the Great I AM. So let’s begin there. The Great I AM is the creator of the universe, Yahweh (YHWH), Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit. Or it is you. There is no God but Jehovah (Yahoveh). Not Allah, Buddha, Confucius, Krishna, or any other name you can imagine is worthy of that acknowledgment. Upon that basis we can operate with full confidence and assurance of an ordered creation, purposed life existence and a favorable future. Without that understanding we fall into chaos, supposition and fear of the unknown.
Being busy and absorbed in our lives, we make judgments on what we allow to influence us. If we acquiesce to no higher power (authority) then we make ourselves as the incontrovertible divinity of our existence. God; we make our self to be our own god. If we defer to Carl Sagan, Mahatma Gandhi, or your current college professor then you proclaim their wisdom to be superior to all others, including Jehovah. The mental capacity we have been endowed with allows us to rationalize and reject the very one who gave us the ability to reason.
Since you have chosen to be here, reading this, you should be aware of the bias which you will confront. Every effort will be made to present yellow light as yellow and blue as blue. Truth shall set you free. A myriad of other axioms and truisms apply but the singular consistent throughout is that there is a God and you are not Him. You will not find comfort in any other disposition. At least not here. So again, you don’t need to be here; reading this. The bottom line is that either you agree with the premise or seek a point of renouncement.
To the first point: Jehovah is the sovereign, triune, eternal God of the universe, both known and as yet unknown. It is by His hand and desire that all things exist. He alone is truly worthy of our worship and praise. He gives life and is the light of the world. No one will come to Him except they receive the gift of His atonement by Jesus the Christ His Son. All who do not accept Him by faith will be allowed by their own choice to suffer the flames and torment of Hell in the lake of fire which He declares burns forever. His written Word which has been spoken through His Spirit and the Living Word tell all truth necessary to know Him. It stands without apology needing no correction.
To the second point: men have rebelled for centuries yet the truth remains, Jesus is Lord. Philosophers and mental giants have proclaimed God is dead and the Bible will be extinct within their lifetime. Historians deny its authenticity. Scientist reject its conclusions. Governments challenge its assertions. And at every level of society those who seek self-pleasure and pervert the design of life itself, flaunt their ignorance and evil surmising in the very face of their creator. Here, in this place, no space is given for the validity of the second point. God has no plan B for it is not necessary.
Yet despite my didactic affirmations, some indeed are unconvinced. Some see superstition and psychobabble. Twisted minds and contradictions of hypocrisy have painted an unhealthy landscape over this declaration of love. A lack of generational faithfulness cuts at the fabric of believability. Seeing some touted as pinnacles of virtue fall into the morass of failure contributes to the solid foundations being brought into question. Surely there has to be an approach which can help reasonable souls find peace and truth. There is and it is our title phrase. Be Still. The psalmist penned “Be still and know that I am God.
The peace and soundless contemplation of fertile minds allows reason to champion itself and the clamor of ridicule to be seen as the static of futile interjections. “Be still” does not mean stop thinking. It means stop interrupting God with your buts and what ifs. It means being open to the gentle wooing of God the Holy Spirit. It means honestly questioning why we question God. “Be still” means listening as if you wanted to hear a pin drop. As if believing that the true God of the Universe really desires an intimate private conversation with His creation. “Be still” does not mean I don’t have questions but rather that I believe there are answers to my questions.
And then what? What if you hear, what if you understand, what if He tells you that He is real? Then know Him. Know that He is God. Know that He wants you to know Him. Paul wrote in the scriptures that if we “confess with our mouths the Lord Jesus and believe in our heart that God has raised Him from the grave, we shall be saved”. You will be saved from the wrath of God by the loved and promise of God unto the fellowship of God. You will know such peace and comfort that words will be unable to fully articulate the rescue His presence provides. You will “Be still and know”.
