About "Be Still"...

Given to heal, comfort, and protect...

"Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

 Psalm 46:10

I thought I was doing every thing right.  I was walking in obedience to Christ while ministering to others.  My heart was filled with the desire to reach people through the music he had given me, and I was excited and joy filled at the prospect of it.    

All of a sudden, everything went haywire.  I felt as though I was caught up in some kind of spiritual battle mayhem, and I didn’t know what to do about it.  Oh, I prayed, and prayed some more, and then I found out what putting on the full amour of God really meant.  It seemed that Satan was unleashing his fury and using everything he could to stop me.  Nothing I could do seemed to be right and no good deed went unpunished.  I cried out to the Lord…”Why oh Why” and He said… “Be Still and know that I am God” and the music flowed.  This was not necessarily a passage of scripture that I had dwelled on in the past.  I did now.

Sometimes, what we think are misfortunes, are actually blessings.  Spiritual attack usually means that you’re doing something right, not wrong, and God is always in control…not us. We need to allow Him to protect us, and we need to let go in order to do so.  There are four verses that come to mind when I think of all of the things I witnessed, and the final one led me on to where I could rest in Him, and then, work for Him.

1 Peter 4:13…"But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His Glory is revealed."

Psalm 92:9…"If you make the most High your dwelling- even the Lord, who is my refuge- then no harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent."

Proverbs 21:30…"There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord."

1 Peter 4:19…"So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit

themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good."
