In a world and society of constant movement, and hustle and bustle, here are three principies that are good to keep in mind:
We don't seem to know much about stillness today, and if we are going to practice these three principles it is going to take discipline. Remember, the Lord wants us to take time to not only slow down, but to stop, to be...still.
"He leadeth me beside the still waters."
If we do not take time for stillness in the presence of the Lord Jesus each day, we are busier than God every intended any person to be!
The reason we do not always hear the Lord speak in "a still small voice," I Kings 19:12, is because we are not "still" ourselves. Have we taken a stillness break today?
"Their strength is to sit still."
May be sung to the tune: I Love To Tell The Story
"Stand still," my Lord, encouraged,
And yet, I hurried on,
I thought I was sufficient,
To straighten every wrong:
I thought I knew the answers,
To every circumstance;
That I could right each problem,
With just a passing glance.
"Sit still," my Lord, entreated,
"You cannot work it out;
But leave it to My wisdom,
Trust Me without a doubt:
And mighty things will happen,
All for your blessing work,
Let confidence be waiting,
Let not suspicion lurk."
"Be still," my Lord, reminded,
But this I found so hard,
My faith seemed oh so feeble,
My nerves seemed oh so jarred:
I felt I must be doing,
Yet all was in His hand,
All for my good unfolding,
The way my Lord had planned.
So, finally I listened,
For what else could I do?
I only made things tangled,
This truth I clearly knew.
But resting on His promise,
Submitting to His will,
Brought peace and understanding,
My troubled heart was "still."
