The Place of Nothingness

"Be still and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10) .

Do you find yourself in a place of nothingness? There is a time and place in
our walk with God in which He sets us in a place of isolation and waiting.
It is a place in which all past experiences are of no value. It is a time of
such stillness that it can disturb the most faithful if we do not understand
that He is the one who has brought us to this place for only a season. It is
as if God has placed a wall around us. No new opportunities - simply
inactivity.

During these times, God is calling us aside to fashion something new in us.
It is a place of nothingness designed to call us to deeper roots of prayer
and faith. It is not a comfortable place, especially for a task-driven
workplace believer. Our nature cries out, "You must do something" while God
is saying, "Be still and know that I am God." You know the signs that you
have been brought into this place when He has removed many things from your
life and you can't seem to change anything. Perhaps you are unemployed.
Perhaps you are laid up with an illness.

Many people live a very planned and orchestrated life where they know almost
everything that will happen. But for people in whom God is performing a
deeper work, He brings them into a time of quietness that seems almost
eerie. They cannot see what God is doing. They just know that He is doing a
work that cannot be explained to themselves or to others.

Has God brought you to a place of nothingness? Be still and know that He
really is God. When this happens, your nothingness will be turned into
something you will value for the rest of your life.
