BE STILL AND KNOW HE IS GOD

In fast pace Singapore, it's very difficult (almost impossible) to slow down and do nothing. Just be still and wait upon the Lord can be rather scary and hard! Just imagine, do nothing and wait and wait and wait and still silence with no immediate reply or work to be done! But this is just what the Lord wants - slow down, be patient, learn to trust in Him. Psalm 130:5

My prayer: Slow me down and quiet my mind. Steady my hurried pace and break the tensions of my nerves and muscles. Help me to know the magical restoring power of sleep and rest. Teach me the art of taking minute vacations, slow down to look at a flower, to chat with a friend, to pat a dog, to hug a child, to read a few lines from a good book and take a walk by the sea etc.

Lesson: We must learn to wait. When we do not know what to do we must simply do nothing. Wait till the mist clears away. Waiting has four purposes. It practices the patience of faith. It gives time for preparation for the coming gift. It makes the blessing the sweeter when it arrives. It shows the sovereignty of God - to give just when and as He pleases.
