For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not. (Isaiah 30:15)
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. (Mark 4:39)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Be still, and know that I am God

Sometimes the most powerful and effective act we can do is to do nothing and focus on God's faithfulness and the trustworthiness of His promises. We need discernment to know when to act and when to wait, when to fight and when to lower our guard, when to speak and when to be silent. Many ministers burn out because they don't learn to be still in the Lord, which is a posture of power. When we focus on God, it keeps us still and in harmony. This posture of faith unleashes divine power and glorifies Him through our trust. When anxiety and fear threaten to overwhelm and weaken us, we have to look away from the storm and focus on God's promises. That inner posture has incredible power! We have to stand on the word that God has declared, finding the spiritual axis from which to undertake the battle that lies ahead, and entering that state of powerful stillness, then we will have a chance to see the salvation of the Lord.

Comments:

Enrique Meneses Muñoz : I want to always keep my trust in GOD, even if it's hard for me to do so. Hallelujah.
Dear Enrique, thank you for sharing your comment. As Dr. Roberto Miranda well mentions in his devotional, stillness and trust in God are essential for our spiritual strength. We know that maintaining that confidence in difficult times can be a challenge, but let us remember that God is always by our side and sustains us. In Isaiah 26:3 we are promised that those whose mind is persevering in God will be kept in perfect peace. Let us continue to trust Him and allow Him to give us that peace that surpasses all understanding. Blessings!
Sabino Marroquín López..: My happiness is: since 4 in the morning I am saying my prayers, giving thanks to God for his infinite love and mercy that he has for me and for his children, amen.
Dear Sabino, how wonderful to know that from early on you are taking time to pray and thank God for his love and mercy. As Dr. Roberto Miranda teaches us in his devotional, stillness and trust in God are essential for our spiritual strength. And one way to cultivate that trust is through prayer and gratitude. I join you in this prayer of thanks for God's love and mercy in our lives. Blessings!
Sabino Marroquín López..: I ask Two for his hand: so that I can help those poor families, so that their children do not go to crime and end up in jail, amen.
Dear Sabino, how beautiful is your heart to want to help poor families and prevent children from falling into crime. In Philippians 4:13, we are told that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Trust that God will shake your hand and guide you so that you can carry out this noble work. Do not be discouraged if you encounter difficulties along the way, remember that in Isaiah 41:10 we are told: "Do not fear, for I am with you; do not lose heart, for I am your God who strives for you; I will always help you, I will always support you with the right hand of my righteousness." Keep going with your desire to help others and trust that God will be by your side. Blessings!

Francisco Diaz S.: At my age I only hope in the Lord; my stillness and my rest is my peace, my faith and my trust in the Lord is my strength.- The Lord is the owner of the times and circumstances.- Praise be to my Lord
Dear Francisco, what beautiful words of faith and trust in the Lord. As Dr. Roberto Miranda teaches us in his devotional, stillness and trust in God are essential for our spiritual strength. I join you in this song of praise and gratitude to the Lord for being the owner of the times and circumstances. In Isaiah 40:31 we are told: "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength; they will soar like eagles: they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not grow weary." Let's keep waiting on the Lord and trusting in his perfect plan for our lives. Blessings!
Elsa Bernal : If so, if we enter into God's rest, we are filled with Him and He works in our lives.
That's right, dear Elsa. When we surrender to the peace and rest that God offers us, it is when we can experience his work in our lives in a more full way. In Hebrews 4:10-11 we are invited to enter God's rest and let Him work in us: "For he who has entered his rest has also rested from his works, as God from his. Let us be careful, therefore, enter that rest, so that no one falls into such an example of disobedience". Let's keep looking for that rest in God and allowing Him to work in our lives. Blessings!
Gustavo Martinez Afanador : Time belongs to God and the burdens are not ours because despair is taken by God and tranquility, peace, trust and rest are ours, that is why God tells us to be still my strength is in me and listen to me and know me what I am capable of and I will deliver victory to you. Blessings
What a beautiful comment, Gustavo. That's right, despair does not come from God, but it is He who gives us the tranquility, peace, confidence and rest that we need in the midst of the burdens that we may carry. How true is there in what you say! In Isaiah 46:10 we are invited to be still and know that He is God: "Be still, and know that I am God." Let us continue to trust Him and allow Him to be our strength at all times. Blessings for you too!
Kiria : Grateful, with each one of you in all these years, sending me the word of God and I urge you to never tire of carrying the word of God, even in my processes and storms I have confidence and stillness. I rest in his promises and in his word. This devotional exercises my thoughts and renews my strength. Thank you for reminding me that God will always move in the stillness of spirit. Blessings from Panama!
Dear Kiria, it is a pleasure to know that the devotionals and the words of God shared by the community have been a blessing to your life. As you say, we should never get tired of carrying the word of God and trusting in his promises. In Philippians 4:13 we are told: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Let's keep trusting in him and letting his peace and strength flood our lives. May God bless you from Panama!
Maria Castillo: Thank you for sending me this word that brought hope to my life, when I felt that I couldn't take it anymore, may God continue to use you, I already had a lot that I didn't know about you, just three months ago you began to send me devotional promises to my life and It is being a lot of blessing.
Dear Maria, it is a joy to know that these words from God have brought hope and blessing to your life. As you say, God always supports us and gives us strength in the most difficult moments. In Isaiah 40:29 we are told: "He gives strength to the weary, and multiplies strength to those who have none." Let us continue to trust Him and let ourselves be strengthened by his word and his love. May God continue to bless you abundantly!
Acelis: Wonderful teaching, God bless this pastor much more and all those who enrich our devotional lives with those wise messages from God. Thank you
Amen, Acelis. Truly, the teaching of this devotional is wonderful and full of wisdom. Let us continue to pray that God continues to bless our pastor and all those who share his word and his messages of love and hope. In 2 Timothy 2:2 we are encouraged to share what we have learned with others so that they too can teach others: "What you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to faithful men who are qualified to teach others also. ". May God continue to bless you!
Patricia La Rocca: Many blessings!
Thanks for your comment, Patricia. May God bless you too and continue to guide you on your way. In Numbers 6:24-26 we are told: "The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace." May this blessing be with you always!
Alba Fuentes: Beautiful meditation and it is that God acts in stillness when we trust and place all our trust in Him
That's right, Dawn. God always listens to us and responds to us when we put all our trust in Him. In Psalm 62:5-6 we are told: "Only in God does my soul find rest; from him comes my salvation. He alone is my rock, my salvation and my protector; I shall not slip." Let us continue to trust in him and let ourselves be guided by his love and wisdom. God bless you!
