    In a time where chaos seems to rule, where noise fills every moment, and distraction dulls our discernment - "Be still, and know that I am God!" is not a polite suggestion from God. This is a divine command — a call to stillness in a restless world.

    Although Paul desired to be in the Lord's presence, he knew it was more needful to remain for the church. He was determined to glorify Christ in life or death. We too need to remain committed and faithful to the work the Lord given us.

    His Presence Or Presents

    Have we thought of bonding with God, getting intimate with Him and desiring His Presence more than anything else in life? God’s presence with us is one of His greatest presents to us.

    Opening illustration: Oswald Chambers once wrote: “It is not God’s promises we need, it is [God] Himself.” At Christmastime we often say, “God’s presence is more important than presents.” But the amount of time and effort we spend on shopping for gifts may indicate otherwise.
