"Be still and know that I am God" - Psalm 46:10
Often times, when we have some kind of a problem, we pray saying, "God, help me, please." Then, we run around from pillar to post looking for a solutions. We become worried when we do not find one immediately. We are impatient. That's when its important to be still. The answer will come. His Will will be done. And everything's going to be just fine. Only we don't have time to wait. At this point, I must quote the great english poet, John Milton, who was blind but still wanted to serve the Lord. After expressing his anguish for not being able to serve the Lord, he says these marvellous lines, "They also serve who only stand and wait." So, it's really important to stand and wait for the Lord to answer your call.
It can really,really be tough. I am an impatient person myself. I hate to wait in a line. Let alone be still for an infinite period of time. But that's the way it works. I have experienced that in my personal life,too. Only way to endure the wait is to
1. Have faith in God's mercy
2. Hope
3. Believe that the Lord will do what's just right for you.
Yes...Be still...Trust in His wisdom. He will direct your ways.
