TODAY'S SCRIPTURE:
"The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still"
Exodus 14:14
TODAY'S WORD:
When was the last time you can remember being still? And I don't mean sitting in traffic, waiting for a doctor's appointment or standing in line at the store. In today's fast-paced culture, people are constantly multitasking, trying to do more in less time, more gadgets equal a longer leash for other to jerk on and pull us the direction they need or want us keeping us all constantly on the go, constantly seeking information, constantly checking off to-do lists. And there is nothing wrong with any of these things…I too am in this battle we call life. But stop and be still with me for a moment as we reflect on the above scripture from Exodus 4:14. If we are going to see the Lord fight our battles, if we are going to embrace the victory He has for us, we have to make it a priority to be still before Him.
Being still means taking time alone in the presence of Almighty God. Being still means being quiet before Him, listening to His voice and meditating on His Word. But, we need to also keep our hearts and minds still no matter what else we are doing. Being still means silencing the negative voices in our minds. It means choosing right thoughts and putting our trust in Him.
Selah people' and friends that's why it's so important for you to keep His Word first place in your life because when you know His Word, you know Him. When you know Him, you trust Him. When you trust Him, your heart and mind will be still before Him, and He will lead you into victory all the days of your life!
OUR PRAYER FOR TODAY:
"Father, I come to You in the precious name of Your Son, Jesus. I choose to be still in You. I choose to cast my cares on You. Fill me with Your peace today, fill me with Your hope as I keep my heart and mind stayed on You in Jesus' name. Amen."
