In this week’s sermon, Pastor Jacob Machelski explores Psalm 46, focusing on the verse “Be still and know that I am God.” He emphasizes understanding this verse within the context of the entire psalm, which portrays God as a refuge amidst worldly chaos. Pastor Jacob argues that truly knowing God involves developing a deep trust in Him, not just intellectual acknowledgment. He addresses the challenge of being “still” in today’s hectic world, suggesting that it requires letting go of control and trusting in God’s protection. The sermon concludes with practical spiritual practices to cultivate stillness and combat anxiety, including fixed-hour prayer, Sabbath observance, and breath prayers.
