Our goal in these messages is to understand the role of stillness is the struggles of life in order that we would worship God through life\u2019s storms. The main truth is that when we are still before God, we will hear His still small voice speaking His stabilizing truths which will lead to quietness\u2014spiritual stability<\/em> in the storms of life.<\/p>\n

Psalm 46:10 \u2013 \u201cStillness in Struggles\u201d (Part 1) <\/a>\u2013<\/a>\u00a0Outline<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>(pdf) \u2013 The schoolhouse of life\u2019s struggles are times in which God providentially orchestrates each class, each lesson, each exercise to keep bringing us back to our knees in continual surrender. It is in stillness that we learn the truths God has for us, both, in the storms of life as well as the when the storm is past or have not yet arrived.<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/pibcny.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/2017-10-01-AM-Psa-46_10-Stillness-in-Struggles.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n
