Glory in Him: Be Still

Be Still

With all that is going on around us - pain, sorrow, needs, trials, tribulations, uncertainty, illness, heartaches, etc. - the LORD put this picture on my mind: it is of a child sitting with and at the feet of her Daddy. As she sits by Him, she places her head on His lap as He tenderly and gently strokes her hair. She sits there unhurried, unfrazzled, unoccupied with the cares that are going on all around her - she simply sits and enjoys the touch of those tender hands, His warmth, His love.

BE STILL AND KNOW HE IS GOD!

As I pondered these thoughts the LORD brought to mind the following songs - sing, meditate or simply be still at the feet of Your Heavenly Father...

Isaiah 23:3 - Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee:

Isaiah 30:7...Their strength is to sit still.

Isaiah 30:15...return...rest...saved...in quietness and in confidence shall be your strenth:...

Psalm 91:1-2 - He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in Him will I trust.

So be still o my soul, and KNOW HE IS GOD...

It’s sometimes very difficult for us to understand the wisdom and the love behind the things that God has planned.

But we wouldn’t have the rainbow if we didn’t have the rain; We wouldn’t know the pleasure if we never tasted pain.

We wouldn’t love the sunrise if we hadn’t felt the night; And we wouldn’t know our weakness if we hadn’t sensed God’s might.

We couldn’t have the springtime or the yellow daffodil if we hadn’t experienced the winter’s frosty chill.

And though the brilliant sunshine is something God has made. He knew too much could parch our souls so He created shade.

So God’s given us a balance: enough joys to keep us glad, enough tears to keep us humble, enough good to balance bad.

And if you’ll trust in Him you’ll see though yesterday brought sorrow, the clouds will part and dawn will bring a happier tomorrow.

"THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW"
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.
