Reminder:
Quiet Yourself and Hear Me
Encouragement:
If you discipline yourself to be still and listen, I will give you the means to solve difficult problems. Your thoughts and emotions do matter to Me but don’t allow them to dictate your decision-making. They are unreliable and subject to instantaneous change. I am always the same. Because I know the way there’s no need to allow fear and discontent to derail your progress. Remain closely connected to Me so that you can live in the protective covering of My presence.
Guidance:
“Be still, be calm, see, and understand I am the True God. I am honored among all the nations. I am honored over all the earth.” You know the Eternal, the Commander of heavenly armies, surrounds us and protects us; the True God of Jacob is our shelter, close to His heart.”
— Psalm 46:10-11 (VOICE)
Indeed, this is a potential “crack” in our armor in which we can inadvertently allow the enemy to enter. Holding fast and trusting that He is with us, guiding us through perilous or uncertain times can be a challenge. That’s why it’s so important to take our focus off of the many distractions of this world, to stay in the Word and fortify ourselves with His truth. Satan has so many tactics to confuse us, to cause us to live in fear and to separate us from our goal of staying close to the Lord. We’re no match for him without our spiritual armor and the continuous and consistent relationship with our Father.
But praise God these answers are things we have constant access to. Oh, what a Savior!
