BIG MAMA SAID: “Be Still, And Know That I Am God:” Psalm 46:10

By Terry Allen

In a world inundated with noise, Big Mama’s voice stood out as a beacon of wisdom and faith, guiding not only her immediate family but a vast audience of 235 relatives, spanning generations.

Her profound statement, quoting Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God,” resonates deeply with those who had the privilege of knowing her. It serves as a reminder to slow down, connect, and understand the essence of life.

Big Mama, also known as Lucille Allen, was more than a matriarch; she was a source of inspiration. Her values, rooted in faith and familial bonds, shaped the life decisions of many, including the author of the statement.

Reflecting on her influence, it becomes evident that knowing God isn’t merely about theological knowledge but about personal connection and acknowledgment.

To truly understand, one must engage in a journey of surrender and introspection. By loosening the grip on control and embracing vulnerability, individuals can deepen their relationship with the divine and with each other. It’s about connecting the dots between faith, family, and personal growth.
