Keep Calm and Be Still

Are you afraid whenever you are left at home all alone by yourself? Or are you scared when the place is just so quiet, everyone is sleeping, and you are the only person who is still wide awake? Yes, I've experienced that! There were times, when I was rushing my homeworks which was needed the next day, and I stayed up very late, it was like around 1 o'clock in the morning… Everyone was sleeping, no one was talking, no sound of cars or motorcycles passing by, no noisy cats and dogs fighting, absolutely no noise, it was total silence!! Then suddenly, I heard some creepy sounds!!! Yikes, what was that sound? Monsters? Ninjas? Samurais? Nah! You really watch too much cartoons! Or is it Prince Charming coming for his Princess? I think you should stop reading fairy-tale books! Or some kidnapper or robber? You should go see the psychologist, action series affected you too much! What was that then? It was after a while then I figured out, it was the sound of someone running… Oh! It was my "small buddies" roaming around searching for food. That moment when I heard those creepy noise, I was afraid deep deep inside… But, I forgot the most important thing of all, His Promise in Psalms 118:6, "The Lord is on my side, I will not fear. What can man do to me?" Let us always remember that, no matter where we are, no matter what we are doing, no matter who we are, in any situation, the Lord is always with us, just right beside us, waiting for us to call on Him. This is a song, entitled "Still". "Be still, know that I am God."   

Whenever we go through the storms of life, let us not forget Psalms 46:1, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble."
