Be Still.

Psalm 46:10

Learning to be still before God is an important skill we should all learn.
There is a time to be still.
Ecclesiastes 3:1

Stillness can be an evidence of our faith that God is at work in our lives.
Restlessness and impatience are often strategies the enemy uses to frustrate us.
Anxiety is a tactic the enemy uses to gain an advantage over us.
Philippians 4:6

Stillness is the outcome of peace in our heart.
We need to be still from time to time to remain sane in this hectic world.
Stillness is an aspect of confidence.
 Confidence is necessary for exploits, achievements and victory.
In the place of stillness and solitude we learn to think straight and see clearly.
Confidence is a part of our faith.
Faith is an absolute confidence and trust in God.
This means that stillness is part of our faith and should be employed in our journey of life.

Stillness is needed to convert what we hear to faith in our hearts.
Hebrews 4:2
To be still is to not run ahead of God.
Being still is learning not to take certain steps until the Lord has spoken or given a signal.
1 Samuel 30:1-8

David was a master warrior, he understood being still before God.
Stillness will require discipline on our part but the outcome will be worth it.
The art of stillness and solitude is an art the church of God has to regain.
It has been lost  to many eastern religions who teach their followers how to meditate, be still and connect with nature or the universe.

Being still is necessary for meditating on God's word and the scriptures.
Bing still is necessary to hearing God.
Being still is necessary for converting knowledge to wisdom.
In the place of stillness we receive ideas, inspiration, strategies and plans.
Proverbs 8:12

To be still is to wait on God. God gives strength to those who wait on Him. So stillness brings strength.
Isaiah 40:31
Being still is allowing God to work things out in our favor.
Spend time being still before God in prayer, His word and receiving from Him.
When you've done all you need to do, be still and see God work for you!

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
