Bible Verse of The Day – 1-7-24 – Be Still

Please click to watch the video now.Greetings, brothers and sisters in Christ! 

Do we sometimes have a hard time being still and hearing God when we need to hear Him the most? 

Tough situations can cause us to become frantic, and instead of being still and listening to God, we do the exact opposite. 

In today’s new video, we teach about learning to be still and hear God’s voice, especially during times when we typically would be frantic and jumping around, searching for a solution to our problem. 

We hope this video will shed some light on this problem and bring understanding in an area where we often struggle to get understanding and clarity.

We love you all very much!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-22

Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

During these last few weeks, those two words, “be still”, have been critical to my walk with God and my everyday life in the natural.

Seasons of change or times of trial can make us want to do things that we might not normally do.

When we’re facing the unknown and we don’t understand everything we’re seeing, we tend to want to take things into our own hands. We may begin making rash decisions. We might want to run away. Or we may feel like God has abandoned us.

It’s those times of change and difficulty, though, when we need to do the opposite. Instead of running away, hiding, trying to take control or feeling abandoned, we need to hold tightly to God, letting Him lead us through the changes we’re facing.

It’s not always easy to do. In fact, it can be downright difficult sometimes.

Our flesh fights us, almost as though it’s our enemy. And in some ways, it is. The flesh wars against our spirit as our spirit works to follow the Spirit of God. It’s a never-ending battle that can tire us out if we let it.

But instead of wrestling constantly, sometimes the best thing we can do is to stay still.

It’s in the stillness that we can hear God best. This is why it’s so important that we not get frantic, but quell our emotions as they try to lead us down roads of fear and doubt.

And as we learn to do this, to listen for the Spirit of God, and let Him lead, we will begin to walk in the peace of God that surpasses all understanding, allowing us to move forward on the path He has set before us.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Bible Verse of The Day – 3-25-15

Psalm 46:10 (NKJV) 10 Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!

Being still is probably a pretty hard thing for most of us to do, especially if we’re in a pressure situation or going through a trial.

One of the first things that many people want to do when trouble comes is to put on their running shoes and get as far away from trouble as possible. It’s a natural reaction for the flesh to want to avoid anything that might hurt a little.

But God wants us to stay put, sit still and trust Him.

There will be a lot of things that will come our way during our lifetimes. Some of them might be pretty dark and uncomfortable. Some of them might even scare us into thinking that it’s not worth going on.

It doesn’t matter what happens or what we’re facing, God is bigger than that obstacle, trial or situation. He holds the answer to every question we have, the solution to every problem we face and the provision for every need we may come up against.

So as hard as it can be to stay put and be still, that  is exactly what we need to do so we can hear Him and get His  answer for our dilemma.

No, that doesn’t mean that we just lay down and expect God to do everything for us. But it does  mean that we need to be vigilant, diligent and using discernment sharpened by the Spirit of God in order to hear what God is saying and then to follow through and do it.

So it’s time for us to reach down and untie our shoe laces, take those running shoes off and find a place to sit and listen for God’s direction and instruction.

He is able to do more than we could ever think or imagine. And with His help, there is nothing that we can’t overcome.

Philippians 4:13 (NKJV) 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
