So often when it feels like our life is falling apart or when it's just plain crazy, we hold on tighter to the reins and yell "charge!" attempting to slay whatever dragon is in our life. But why do we think that we're the commanding officer and the battle is all ours?
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10
When you are in a frenetic state, being "still" might be hard to imagine. A questioning mind might ask "why?"
The Lord himself will fight for you, you have only to keep still. Ex 14:14
It's as if to say we waste a lot of energy fretting , worrying, pacing, & blathering when we only need to rest, trust, and look to our heavenly General.
Look to the Lord as an example. He allowed himself to be born as a completely helpless baby. Trust. Did he ever wear armour and charge into battle? Trust. Humility. Gentleness.
Where in your life aren't you still? Practice trust in the Lord. Then pray for all marriages. Trust that your prayers will be heard.
Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet
Offer some stillness to a friend. Pass it on.
