Be Still

0
  • — 13 Nov, 2022

wisdomOne of my favorite verses in the Bible is Psalm 46:10 where God himself instructs us to “Be still, and know that I am God.” The reason it is one of my favorite verses is because it is constantly testing and challenging me. I have no problem whatsoever with the “knowing God” part. It is the “being still” that really gets to me. “Being still,” to my mind, means no activity or movement. If I am inactive, how will I be able to help God solve the various problems that I face? I know that God is all knowing, all powerful, almighty, etc., but can He possibly make the right decisions for me without my valuable input and direction? “Being still,” also implies the absence of anxiety and worry. I can’t count how many times I did, and sometimes still do, tell God I am leaving my problem in His hands and then continue to worry about the outcome. If I was God, I would probably be pretty annoyed at people who exhibited such lack of faith and trust. But, thankfully for all of us, I am not God,and the real God always shows us mercy and grace in our weakness as we grow in Him. Be still!

    Pastor Sal visited us recently and shared a message on the importance of Christians counseling each other in a Biblical way. This is a message that every Christian needs to hear. Using practical applications of Biblical truths, real life examples, humor, and overhead media, Sal’s message was clear and concise. Counseling others can be easier than we think and fruitful as long as we follow God’ s Word. We look forward to Pastor Sal’s next visit.

    Hello Sal, Our church thoroughly enjoyed your message yesterday. It is a message that needs to be heard in every church. Too often people place a great importance on their opinions, but your message presented the timeless, biblical truths that God expects and requires in our lives to help us fulfill His purpose through the local church.

    Sal’s mediation of a serious church conflict was nothing short of a miracle yet he gives all the credit and glory to God. Old wounds were healed and we can finally move forward as a united congregation.

    “Pastor Sal, So glad you were available to provide the message “Christians Counseling Each Other” last Sunday. What a powerful and timely message straight from the heart of God. We were very well fed! Thank you so much. In terms of your message’s relevance for churches, I would say it’s right up there as one of the top five need-to-know “truths” that every church needs to hear, take to heart, and implement.

    I really can’t express how grateful I am for your ministering to me. I felt listened to and validated. You gave me hope and peace. Not a day goes by without me putting into practice one or more of your suggestions. I thank the Lord for your gifts.

    Since I am constantly attempting to balance and improve my life, I have seen many counselors and coaches spanning a period of almost forty years and Sal is one of the best. As a business coach, Sal comes equipped with the personal experience, knowledge, and wisdom of how to succeed in business. His approach is easy yet straight forward and to the point. His diverse background has given him a multifaceted approach to coaching and he keeps it all balanced on a biblical foundation.

    Being the keynote speaker at our annual prayer breakfast, Sal absolutely exceeded our expectations. As a Kiwanian for forty years, I had never heard anyone make the comparisons between our objectives and verses from the bible. It was great!
