Left Behind: Stillness Knowing God Controls History - Dispensational (Psalm 46:10)

Imagine you’re in a bustling city square, where chaos reigns. Sirens wail, news alerts flash on every screen, and the air is thick with anxiety. In the midst of this turmoil stands an elderly man, unwavering and serene, his hands clasped in prayer. This scene reminds me of the powerful message in Psalm 46:10—“Be still, and know that I am God.”

Just like the characters in Left Behind, who grapple with the bewildering events of the Rapture and the rise of the Antichrist, we often find ourselves engulfed in confusion and fear. Think of someone like Sarah, a dear member of our congregation, who recently lost her job amidst economic upheaval. She faced overwhelming uncertainty, yet she chose to find her anchor in God’s promises. Instead of panicking at the headlines, she whispered those very words: “Be still.”

There’s a profound peace that comes when we acknowledge God’s sovereign control over history. As nations rage and turmoil seems unending, remember that God’s plan is unfolding, perfectly timed. When the psalmist declares, “I will be exalted among the nations,” it’s not just a poetic flourish; it’s a promise that echoes through time. Christ’s return is imminent, and in that certainty, we can rest.

So, let us cultivate that stillness amidst the noise. Cling to the truth that chaos is temporary, but God’s kingdom is eternal. Like that elderly man in the square, unshakeable amidst the chaos, we too can find solace in the knowledge that the ending is already written, and it culminates in His glory.
