A Living Stillness
"There is a perfect passivity that is not laziness. It is a living stillness born of trust. Quiet tension is not trust but simply compressed anxiety." -- Cowman

Being Still. Doing Nothing.
Being still, I've wonderfully learned, is much different than doing nothing.
Be still, and know that I am God.
Psalm 46:10 (NIV)
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

When We Rest...
It has been suggested:
"When we rest, God works!
When we work, God rests!"
Matthew 11:28-30 may hint to us that this is a very true suggestion.
Psalm 46:10 reinforces the hint.
What do you believe?
My Lord Jesus, please help me to live my life as if I believe wholeheartedly that Your Blood works so very much more effectively than my sweat. Help me to place Holy Trusting above human trying. In Your name, I pray. Amen.
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

Stand Silent! Know God!
Stand silent! Know that I am God! -- Psalm 46:10 (TLB)
Unless we live our lives entering and reentering the rhythm of Psalm 46:10, we will become desperately, driven people, running all over the place without divine direction.
Isaiah 30:15-18 (NLT) -- (15) The Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says, "Only in returning to Me and waiting for Me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it. (16) You said, ‘No, we will get our help from Egypt. They will give us swift horses for riding into battle.’ But the only swiftness you are going to see is the swiftness of your enemies chasing you! (17) One of them will chase a thousand of you. Five of them will make all of you flee. You will be left like a lonely flagpole on a distant mountaintop." (18) But the LORD still waits for you to come to Him so He can show you His love and compassion. For the LORD is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for Him to help them.
Lord, I want to live the perfectly balanced life. I want to stand silent and know You, I do not want to run swiftly and drive past You. I want to saturate in Your Holy Presence, for I am weak but You are strong. In everything I think, say, and do? Be my Great, All-Powerful God and my Gentle, Ever-Present Guide! In the name of Jesus. Amen.
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.
