BE STILL

PSALM 46

Pastor Rick Jackson

I. REASONS YOU CAN BE STILL

1. God is Present [v. 1-3, Matthew 28:2] “I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

2. God Has a Place [v. 4-5, John 14:1-6]

3. God has Power [v. 6-9, Isaiah 50:2]

Wherefore, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it cannot redeem? or have I no power to deliver? behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stinketh, because there is no water, and dieth for thirst.

II. BE STILL

1. It’s Not “On” You [v. 10a, Eph. 6:10-18]

2. It’s Not About You [v. 10b, Jn. 11:4, Acts 12:23, Rm. 1:23, 4:20, 15:17, 1 Cor. 10:31, 2 Cor.  4:15]

3. It’s Not Like You Have Not Been Told [v. 10-11]

III. WHEN TO BE STILL

1. Whenever You Need To Be [v. 10]

2. When You Are Wrapped Up in Thought [Psalms 4:4]

Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.

3. When in the Storm [Mark 4:39]

 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.
