The Scriptures remind us that the voice of God often comes in a still, small voice (1 Kings 19:11–13).

Lent and the Importance of Being Still
“Be still, and know that I am God.” —Psalm 46:10 This Scripture passage is the favorite of many, because it is so direct and so true. We all need to be reminded that God is God and we are not.
