BE
STILL!
The word still means calmness, quiet or silent. It
also means soft and gentle. Many a time in circumstances, many lose their
stillness. Many are anxious and get worried. Many become disquieted and
restless. Many are impatient when it comes to waiting on GOD. Waiting on GOD
requires calmness and stillness. GOD’s way are not ours, His thoughts are not
ours. His thoughts and plans toward us are of good and not of evil to give us
an expected end. That expected end of yours will be accomplished only if you
are still. We humans in this present world lack patience. Many find it
difficult to exercise patience. Many find it difficult waiting on GOD. GOD is
capable of doing exceeding; abundantly above all we could ever ask or think of.
Ephesians 3 vs. 20: Now to HIM that is
able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to
the power that works in us. Believing GOD for something and answers are yet
to come doesn’t mean GOD will still not do. You have to be still for He will be
glorified at last over what you are believing HIM for. Only those who are still
when waiting on GOD will He strengthen. Only those who are still when waiting
on GOD will run and not be weary; walk and not faint. Psalm 27 vs. 14: Wait on the LORD, be of good courage and He shall
strengthen your heart; wait I say on the LORD. Isaiah 40 vs. 31: But they that
wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings
as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.
Moreover,
GOD himself speaks with a still voice. He spoke to Elijah in a still small
voice. 1 King 19 vs. 12-13: And after
the earthquake a fire; but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a
still small voice. And it was so, when Elijah heard it that he wrapped his face
in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering of the cave. And,
behold, there came a voice to him, and said what do you here, Elijah? The
Psalmist wrote in Psalm 23 vs. 2: He
makes me to lie down in the green pasture; He leads me beside the still waters.
The Good Shepherd JESUS leads his sheeps we his children through the still
waters so we can be restored and strengthened; and also because He Himself is
Still. Job was told to stand still and consider the wondrous works of GOD. Job 37 vs. 14: Hearken to this, o Job;
stand still, and consider the wondrous works of GOD. On a final note, Psalm 107 vs. 29: He makes the storm a calm,
so that the waves thereof are still. Those storms, difficulties,
challenges, battles, unrest, sorrows, adversity, disturbances, confrontations
can be still and calm only if we believe and know GOD is capable of making them
still. Psalm 46 vs. 10: Be still and
know that I am GOD; I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in
the earth. GOD will be exalted and glorified over any challenges,
adversity, disturbances, unrest, sorrow, reproach, difficulties of yours; just
be still and know He is GOD. Has this write up blessed you? Kindly, share with
others. It is well with us…
