The Blessing of the Still Soul

Amidst the troubles of pandemic and the turmoil of politics, you can be still and know that the Lord is God.

In anticipation of the February, 2021 release of my new book, The Power to Bless, I’d like to bless you—to speak a positive, biblically grounded, faith vision over your life. God blessed Adam and Eve and then released them to be fruitful. So, if you want spiritual fruit in your life, fill your heart with blessing. God’s blessing isn’t the reward for your productivity, it is the fuel for it. So, please, open your heart and receive this blessing of peace derived from Psalm 46:

Though the nations rage and kingdoms totter, God is your refuge and strength.

He’s your help amidst the troubles.

Even if the earth should give way and the mountains fall into the sea,

You need not fear.

There’s a river whose streams make glad the city of God

And you are welcomed to its banks—to drink, to be immersed, to splash about for joy.

The Lord of hosts is with you.

In the morning.

At noon time.

In the evening.

He watches over you as you sleep.

So, I bless you today to be still and know that He is God.

No matter the turmoil in politics, the Lord is your God.

No matter the troubles of pandemic, the Lord is your God.

Amidst the brazen voices of fear, I envision your heart being filled today with calm.

Amidst the clamor, may you have moments of profound, inward quiet today.

In Christ, you have been given peace that the world doesn’t have.

And that’s the Gospel!
