be still

I wonder what Jesus' closest friends, His mom, and His faithful followers felt on the days after His death but before His resurrection. Did they feel a sense of defeat? Maybe confusion? I can only imagine there was much heartache during this time.

What was God whispering in their ears on these days? As Easter approaches this year, one verse has been in my mind a great deal.

Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth.

Psalm 46:10

I don't know this to be true, but I imagine God whispering words such as these to the people mourning and confused over Jesus' death in those days.
