“THANK GOD for the conditions that are requiring you to be still. Do not spoil these quiet hours by wishing them away, waiting impatiently to be active again. Some of the greatest works in GOD’S kingdom have been done from sick beds and prison cells. Instead of resenting the limitations of a weakened body, search for GOD’S way in the midst of these very circumstances. Limitations can be liberating when your strongest desire is living close to GOD. Quietness and trust enhance your awareness of The LORD’S Presence with you. Do not despise these simple ways of serving GOD. Although you feel cut off from the activity of the world, your quiet trust makes a powerful statement in spiritual realms. GOD’S Strength and Power show themselves most effective in weakness.” para-phrased – “Jesus Calling” by Sarah Young
“Be still before the LORD, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.” ZECHARIAH 2 : 13
This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says: “In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength, but you would have none of it.” ISAIAH 30 : 15
But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9
Prayer: Lord thank you for the conditions that require me to be still and rest and listen to you. Slow me down when I need this reminder. May your power and strength show themselves most effectively in my weakness. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
