Be still
How would it be if the world you know of, live in and depend on for your day-to-day life is turned upside down?
A sudden storm in life, an earthquake, a disaster. Sometimes disasters loom in slowly...you can see it coming, and yet there is little that you can do to prevent it.
How would it feel to have the very basis of your life removed from your feet? May be it is your job or maybe its your relationship with a loved one or still maybe a life threatening illness! How would it be to have all your expectations in life come crashing down? To have all your hopes dashed down!
Do you have something or someone to cling to when everything else gives way?
While reading about some of the unconquerable fortresses in the world, I found one thing in common among them. That each of them had an inexhaustible supply of water and food within them. Do you have access to this unlimitless Living water and bread in times of severe emergencies and long drawn exigencies? Is there one hope and certainty that you can always cling to? Is there one unmovable CONSTANT in your life when everything else falls apart? Can it be said of your life that "God is in the midst of her, she cannot be moved".
Have you come to the end of your resources? Have all your attempts failed?
Imagine the battlefield of your life where you are standing defenseless with all your startegies, plans , resources, weapons scattered and spent. You have no more energy or ability to fight and your hopes are dashed.
Can you then be certain of your Singular hope? Can you only BE STILL?
My only confidence in such times is the "Awesome, Only reliable, Sovereign, Almighty, I AM" God. Only when I am still, my heart realizes that God is there for me to hope in. To be sure of. He says "Be still and know that I am God".
Then I rest in Him...and see Him win my battle for me.
