Day 37: The Power of Stillness
Day 37: The Power of Stillness
Scripture:
“Be still, and know that I am God.”
—Psalm 46:10 (NKJV)
“Stillness is the secret place in the third heaven where God’s strength flows into your life.”
— Dr. Daniel LeBlanc
Reflection:
Stillness is not weakness. It is the hidden strength of those who choose to ascend above the noise, entering into the atmosphere of heaven where God’s voice becomes louder than the chaos of earth. When God calls you to be still and know that He is God, He is inviting you to a place beyond striving and beyond fear—a place where you access the flow of third heaven strength that cannot be shaken by what happens around you. The world teaches that survival requires movement, effort, and endless striving, but the kingdom of God reveals a deeper truth: real strength is received in surrender. Stillness is not stepping backward—it is stepping upward into the realm where God’s promises dominate your vision and His power infuses your spirit. In stillness, you disengage from the swirl of human striving and engage fully with heaven’s reality. Without intentional stillness, your heart and mind become vulnerable. Left unguarded, your mind will wander toward fear, assumptions, and worst-case scenarios. Your heart will begin to faint under the pressure of uncertainty. But when you choose to still your soul before God, you place yourself under divine protection. His peace stands guard. His truth recalibrates your thinking. His strength pours into your life like a river that cannot be stopped. Stillness changes your perspective. It lifts you to see life not from under the burden of circumstances, but from above them. Stillness is the eagle’s vision—rising on the currents of God’s Spirit instead of flapping frantically in panic. Just as the eagle soars above the storm rather than cowering beneath it, when you enter the stillness of God’s presence, you rise above the turbulence that once threatened to pull you under. You begin to view your battles from heaven’s vantage point, where the storm is not bigger than your God and the enemy’s roar is drowned out by the majesty of your King.
Today, you are invited to ascend. God is not asking you to fight harder—He is inviting you to be still and know. In the stillness, you stop magnifying the storm and start magnifying your Savior. In the stillness, you stop striving for solutions and start receiving divine strength. In the stillness, you are refueled, renewed, and realigned with the unshakable reality of the third heaven, where victory is already yours Lay down the burden to fix everything. Step out of the chaos of earthly striving. Step into the secret place of stillness where God’s strength flows into your spirit like a mighty river. You were not created to live under your circumstances—you were created to soar above them in the power of His presence.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I hear Your call today to be still and know that You are God. I lay down the noise, the striving, and the need to control. I choose to step into the secret place where Your strength flows freely into my life. Lift me higher. Give me the eagle’s vision to see beyond my storm and into Your sovereignty. Quiet my heart and steady my mind with Your peace. Thank You that in stillness, I ascend into Your victory and receive the strength that only heaven can provide. I trust You completely. I receive Your strength fully. In Jesus’ name, amen.
