Be Still

8-14

“Be still before Him.”

Maybe that’s the only thing you need to hear today. “Be still before Him.”

When I asked God what He wants to say to you through me this week, my eyes fell on this small, yet so significant verse: “The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.” (Habakkuk 2:20 NIV)

Once you read through what this verse is about, it doesn’t seem to fit in where it is. Habakkuk is complaining about the injustice in the world, about the fact that people don’t want to have anything to do with God anymore and also about the fact that God seems silent…

And in the midst of the turmoil in his life and the silence of God, Habakkuk says, “Be still.” When everything in life is in turmoil and God is silent too, it makes you want to shout out loud, “Where are You?”

Do you know what “silent” means? It is, essentially, to be free from noise. That’s logical. Or, not to make any noise. Including no panic shouting: “Where are You?” And even
without moving. Can you do that?

So what is your current prayer request? Or rather, I hope you’ve already made a prayer request out of your current problem and are not trying to work it out yourself, without involving God.

Because this is exactly where God wants to lead you today. To Himself. To where your problem gets a solution without YOU trying to solve it. There, where your sadness is transformed into new joy, without you trying to make that happen. There, where in your hopeless situation suddenly an unexpected door opens, without you pushing it open yourself.

If you simply remain still, He will meet your need!

God wants to work it out for you. You are to just stay STILL in faith and prayer before Him today!

You are a miracle!

    You are spot on today. I need to spend time with The Father but not ask Him for anything. I have to learn to rest in Him and let God sort it out!

    Thank You Deborah! ???? Yet another TIMELY message from you…inspired by the Holy Spirit. ???? The Holy Spirit’s bringing Psalm 46:10 to my attention now too, “BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD.”…AND the lyrics of a song I’ve sang at my local Church, “WHOSE REPORT DO YOU BELIEVE???…I BELIEVE THE REPORT OF THE LORD…AND “WE SING HALLELUJAH…WE SING HALLELUJAH…THE LAMB HAS OVERCOME!!!” Kari Jobe sings…AND Proverbs 3:5, “TRUST IN THE LORD WITH A-L-L Y-O-U-R H-E-A-R-T…AND LEAN N-O-T O-N Y-O-U-R O-W-N U-N-D-E-R-S-T-A-N-D-I-N-G…”

    HALLELUJAH…AND ~+~ AMEN ~+~!

    Please help me with my clinical depression which is so bad at the moment. Also pray for my adult daughter Helen who refuses to speak or have anything to do with me ever again. I don’t know why and she won’t tell me. I really needed this to read this morning and thank you so much for reading this and for your prayer.

    Amen ???? xx
