The Bible tells us that Jesus was in the desert for forty days and forty nights. For Him, the experience was a time of difficult testing in preparation for the great things God had in store for His only Son. As human beings, we, too, often find ourselves in a desert of testing, making life difficult. For women, filled with love and sensitivity, these desert times can feel even more trying. Be Still and Know is a collection of forty daily devotions intended to encourage you in your daily walk and lift you up in times of testing. You may wear many hats -- mother, daughter, wife, sister, friend -- but you are also, and always, a beautiful daughter of God. These daily devotions give you a moment to step away from the hustle and bustle and into a quiet desert oasis with the Lord, where you will find peace in His presence. Jesus loves you no matter what desert you are currently in. Come lift your spirit, calm your nerves, and feel beautiful in the eyes of the Lord. Life is tough, but God is tougher, and He invites you to grow in strength and in your relationship with Him by spending quiet time in His presence every day.
