Be still

by | Jun 29, 2016 | Faith Blog

Sometimes I just need a good cry.  Is there anything wrong? Not really. Maybe I’m just trying to force circumstances and situations that I have absolutely no control over. I’m used to being in control in most areas of my life. I’m this super independent woman who has known what I’ve wanted for a long time, who comes and goes as I please.  But then, I’m being told something different by God. “Be still and know that I am God”.  God, do you really know how difficult this command is for me?

I was talking to my friend earlier, and I reminded her that sometimes that’s what God wants most from us.  And she told me that even if she wanted to, that she couldn’t do anything, but watch in amazement as God works.  Somedays I am so confident that I can be still. Other days, not so much – today is one of those days. There are so many factors that influence me: what’s going on in my head; how I’m feeling emotionally that particular day – but yet God still has the same command “Be still”.

 

Lord, help me to understand that your timing is absolutely perfect. All I have to do is to wait upon you and you will direct my path. I need constant reminders of that.
