Be Still
What to do when your world is falling apart.
When life starts bowling difficulties towards us, we like to go into fix-it mode. We feel as though we have to solve everything now and that creates more of a mess. Sometimes, we need to just be still and listen.
Psalm 46:10 “…Be still and know that I am God..”
Rely on God
When we try to fix things while operating in panic mode we are relying on our own understanding and we can easily go down the wrong path. We need to take the time to be still, pray, and listen to God’s will.
We need to move in the direction God wants for us because when we move without God’s direction the fix ends up temporary. The initial situation may be bandaged up but continue to bleed underneath. We want to heal the wound completely and we can only do that by relying on God’s will.
Job 5:18 “For He inflicts pain, and gives relief; He wounds, and His hands also heal.”
