The Power of Stillness We’re busy people. Between work and home, family and friends, full schedules and unending tasks, it’s tempting to hurry through our days without even stopping to look up. But, speaking through the psalmist, God said: “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalms 46:10 NIV

This week we are going to be taking a deep dive into Genesis 22:1-19. Whether you have never read this section of scripture before, or if you have read it a hundred times, I recommend taking a moment to click on that link and read the passage before we dive in.
