Definition:
Not moving or making a sound: deep silence and calm
Scripture:Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!
1 Samuel 12:16 "Now then, stand still and see this great thing the LORD is about to do before your eyes!"Thought: To hear the audible version of this, please click here
Historically, the months of August and September are when the under 17-year-olds return to grade school. Those children who have graduated high school are expected to continue preparing for adulthood by either continuing their studies, getting a job, entering the military, or any activity that confirms that, as parents, we have done a good job preparing them to enter young adulthood. But, as parents, when that does not happen, we become agitated, frustrated, and disappointed. Our expectation is that our children will follow the life formula that was similarly laid out for us.
"BE STILL" and know that God is God!! Instead of yelling, cursing and being frustrated with our children's failure to do it "our way", have faith and choose to operate from a place of quiet and calm. Operate in confidence, that "God's Got This!"
