For the past week or so there have been days when I just didn’t know what to say or write. Days where I know God is doing something, yet I am in a place that requires me to be still. Not physically still but mentally can’t move forward, spiritually praying about it, but can’t apply any action to it. When I am in these moment I tend to want to think through what God is possibly doing. Every time He still surprises me.
Well I’m in one of those moments. I am still. Being still can either be one of the most nerve wrecking, aggravating things to deal with or it can be the most glorious. We can work ourselves up about things we have no control over. We can drive ourselves nuts with negative thoughts that consume our every moment. And even though we are being still, we exert just as much energy as if we were applying action. However, truly being still can be a moment of resting. Resting in God.
Trusting God is being still. Trusting God is stepping back and saying I don’t have to do a thing God is working it out for me. Now let me say this, this does not mean be lazy. You have to participate with God. Christianity is an active, interactive personal relationship. There is a time for both working and being still. When we trust God, He is faithful to do what his word says.
Yea, so that is it! Please pray for me as I pray for you. Be Still! Trust God! Rest!
