In the movie SILENCE the main character, Fr. Rodrigues, struggles throughout the movie with hearing God’s voice. In all the trials, persecutions, and loss of fellow Christian’s lives, Rodrigues fights to make sense of it all. Every time a Christian is martyred he questions his being in this godless country. It is not until he lets go of his personal conviction to not renounce Christ by placing his foot on a plaque, in order to save many facing a torturous, execution-style death, does he finally hear the still small voice of God. I think this is what the psalmist is expressing here when he says “be still”. It’s when we let go of any of our perceived notions about God or the situation in which He is in control of, that we come to hear God’s voice. It’s in the silence of letting go of what we think we can control, and realizing God is the One in control, that we hear God clearly.
10 “Be still, and know that I am God!I will be honored by every nation.I will be honored throughout the world.”
Psalms 46:10
