Being Still In A Chaotic World

“The LORD will fight for you while you keep still.”Exodus 14:14

When you make yourself intentionally be still many nice benefits can occur. Recently because of eye surgery I was forced to be still. I sat on my back porch and took in nature and sounds around me. 

I saw the second hummingbird of the season and I am sure there had been more but maybe I was too consumed with my phone to see them. I watched as the trees blew in the breeze. The doves were cooing to each other. Robins flew and perched on my back fence. 

Perhaps your heart and mind need to practice stillness while you wait on God. Whatever it is my friend getting in an emotional frenzy is not the answer. Trust God and learn to be still and thankful even for small answers to prayers as it is a sign God is at work. Be still. 

PRAYER: Help anyone struggling with stillness to be able to get away to a quiet place and lift up holy hands to you in praise and thanksgiving. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
