Stand Still-DD 4/30/2010

"And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever." Ex 14:13

Worrying is an interesting pursuit. It comes naturally to us all. Whenever we find ourselves in a conundrum without the ability to affect the outcome, worrying is a default reaction. We fret, we discuss it with our friends, we cry, we get depressed and become despondent. Did you ever notice the effectiveness of that particular tactic?

The fact is, worrying has never accomplished a thing. Faith in God, however, always yields results, even if the result is greater reliance on Him. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen." Heb 11:1. That substance and that evidence are products and proof of His existence. It is when we come to the end of our own abilities and efforts, possessing no other means to affect the situation that we are forced to stand still. It is during these still moments and times that the glory of God burns brightest.

Do you want to see God? Stand still!

[Memory verse of the week: Rev 3:20-21]
