Be Still

DON’T MOVE

If you don’t know the direction you’re going, don’t move!

Psalm 46:10, Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

Many people attempt to make things happen for them. They manipulate, twist, or out right lie to get their way. Instead of relying on the Lord; trusting in His way, and having faith that God will give them the way they should go, they force things to happen, creating a complete mess!

Hey friend, if you don’t know where you are going or which way you should go—DON’T MOVE!

Be still and trust He knows what is best for you! Exalting Him where ever you go.

ZIP IT  

Silence is one great art of conversation. -Hazlitt

Psalm 46:10, Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

            The Lord gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. I’m not sure but it may-be we need to listen twice as much as we talk. Whatever the reason, there are times when we need to zip our lips shut and listen to what He is trying to teach us.

            Today, just to turn it all off. Turn the TV off. Turn the radio off. Unplug from the Kindle, Tablet, and Apple product. Grab the Book of all books and invest some time with the God of your salvation!

SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO BE A MARY  

            From one Martha to another, sometimes you need to be a Mary.- Sharon O’Dell

Luke 10:42, But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.

            Oftentimes, we get so busy working for the Lord that we forget to sit at His feet. We must do this, we must do that, and don’t forget about doing that thing too. Everything we set out to do is certainly done on purpose and for a purpose. However, sometimes we put more tasks on our plates than we should. Even when our calendars are full, we continue to put things on it. We believe one more thing won’t hurt. Then that one thing turns into one more thing, which then turns into one more thing. Before you know it, we are too busy being busy that we have no time to spend doing what’s most important--spending time with the Saviour. That should be a priority of our day, every single day. If you’re only spending time with Him while you’re at church, then you’re depriving yourself of the most needful thing in your life. Start today out fresh by deliberately setting time out of your day to spend with Him. You won’t regret it!

SIT DOWN FOR A MOMENT!

Ten minutes spent in Christ's society every day, aye, two minutes, if it were face to face and heart to heart, will make the whole life different. -Drummond

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10

            The older we get the busier our life becomes. Many days we get so busy we don’t make time for The Lord. Or if we do make time for Him we go into our devotion time, our Bible reading, or prayer closet in a rush. Child of God, if you want to grow in God’s grace, you are going to have to sit down for a moment taking time out of your day and get alone with God! Don’t put it off—start right now!
