Be Still

The Bible has several teachings on being still, which can be applied to our daily lives, including our careers. Here are a few examples:

"Be still, and know that I am God" - Psalm 46:10. This verse encourages us to take a break from the busyness of life and focus on God. It reminds us that in the midst of our struggles and challenges, God is still in control. In the context of our careers, this can mean taking a step back from our work to remember that our identity and purpose is not defined solely by our job or accomplishments, but by our relationship with God.

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still" - Exodus 14:14. This verse speaks to the importance of trust and surrender. It reminds us that we don't always have to strive and struggle to achieve our goals, but that we can trust in God's provision and guidance. In our careers, this can mean surrendering our desires and ambitions to God, trusting that he will lead us on the right path.

"He leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul" - Psalm 23:2-3. This verse speaks to the restorative power of being still. It reminds us that when we take a break from the chaos of life and find moments of peace and rest, we can experience healing and rejuvenation. In the context of our careers, this can mean taking time to rest and recharge, whether that's through taking a vacation, practicing mindfulness, or simply setting aside time each day for self-care.

Overall, the Bible teaches that being still is an important spiritual discipline that can benefit us in all areas of life, including our careers. By taking time to be still and reflect on our relationship with God and our goals, we can find greater clarity, peace, and purpose in our work.
