Be still....

Be still....


One only has to watch a few minutes of the news, to feel the fears, the wrestling of good and evil which then can permeate our lives with no peace, no stillness, fretfulness.....underlying unrest.....

I was thinking of this yesterday, late I to the night...overcoming fears with God's Word and this awakening to this Jesus calling devo....
God speaks to our hearts and minds and souls ...he knows what we are about each nano second of our lives...

Putting God's peace Into practice take time, concentration, listening.... My mind keeps saying, "but....What about this or that?"...again and again He brings me  back....why do I have such a hard time learning?

He has provided each new day to learn anew, deeper lessons and sometimes I feel like lesson 101 instead of 102 or 103....putting it down again and again, leaving those fretful times in His more than capable hands....

Thank YOU for your infinite patience, you infinite love and care...Your stillness....Your ultimate victory....


Exodus 14:14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Psalm 37:7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

This is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go.
Isaiah 48:17 NIV

Jesus calling-September 3

Let the dew of My Presence refresh your mind and heart. So many, many things vie for your attention in this complex world of instant communication. The world has changed enormously since I first gave the command to be still and know that I am God. However, this timeless truth is essential for the well-being of your soul. As dew refreshes grass and flowers during the stillness of the night, so My Presence revitalizes you as you sit quietly with Me.

A refreshed, revitalized mind is able to sort out what is important and what is not. In its natural condition, your mind easily gets stuck on trivial matters. Like the spinning wheels of a car trapped in mud, the cogs of your brain spin impotently when you focus on a trivial thing. As soon as you start communicating with Me about the matter, your thoughts gain traction and you can move on to more important things. Communicate with Me continually, and I will put My thoughts into your mind.

“Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”
—Psalm 46:10

She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!” “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
—Luke 10:39–42

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
—1 Corinthians 14:33 nkjv
