Being Still Beofre The Lord

The Value Of

Being Still Before The Lord

When we attempt to forge ahead of God's timing, we may not reap the full benefits of waiting upon Him. Over and over in Scripture, the Lord urges us to wait upon Him (Psalm 46:10), and for good reason, too. The Bible teaches that we are engaged by three enemies: the flesh, the world, and Satan who works against us through the other two entities. Because of a lack of discipline to wait upon the Lord, many believers languish through life.

One of the most important facets of the Christian's life is the discipline of waiting upon God. That does not mean the believer should live a passive existence. Rather, it means to deliberately consecrate ourselves to listen to the indwelling Holy Spirit. How refreshing it really is when we are discerning the will of God in every given circumstance. Rather, it meets with the peace of God that truly passeth all understanding. Amen!
