Preparing for the Cold Seasons of Life

Week 42 — “Strength in Stillness”

Scripture: “Be still and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10 (NIV)

Reflection: Stillness is uncomfortable when you’re used to running full speed (don't I know it!). But God often speaks the clearest when everything else quiets down. Stillness is a form of strength — a decision to trust rather than hustle. When you choose to pause, you create space for God to move.

The Homestead Take Away: Resting a field restores its strength for the next planting. Stillness prepares your heart in the same way. I must admit, this is probably one of the hardest things I personally struggle with, but I do try and that's what counts.

Prayer: God, teach me the strength of being still and trusting You. Amen.
