Being Quiet, Being Still, Being Silent
In a world that is in constant chatter
Exodus 14:10-14
“The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still.”
It’s God’s battle. He will sort everything out.
How often do I stop long enough to allow God’s grace to fall on me?
1 Samuel 12:16
Now stand here and see the great thing the Lord is about to do.
Isaiah 30:15
“This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it.”
Psalm 37:7
“Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.”
Comparison is really dangerous.
We realize we just need to be still and wait for God’s purposes… dwell in His presence, grace, goodness.
When you are in a difficult place, what phrase goes through your mind? It’s often a phrase spoken to us by a parent.
Psalm 116:7
“Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me.”
Gratitude will change the dialogue of our mind to a positive.
Ps 46
“Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
Zechariah 2:13
“Be silent before the Lord, all humanity, for he is springing into action from his holy dwelling.”
Isaiah 30:18
“So the Lord must wait for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the Lord is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for his help.”
Isaiah 40:31
“But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
