About the Sitting

The view from the summit of Old Rag Mountain, VA.

Sometimes God tells us to “BE STILL and know that I am God.”

He did.

So I sat.

And waited.

For dust to settle.

For storms to pass.

To see what He was going to do next.

He did say it was to know that he is God, right?

He did show himself, in grand ways, making provision for things in ways that could only happen at the moving of HIS hand.

Some I saw.

Some of them I missed.

Some needed to be pointed out to me by others.

Some needed to be described to me in deeper detail by others…

…because even though I saw them, I did not fully see the magnitude of them.

However, though I obeyed in being still, I did not get up to move when told to… which just leads to being stagnant.

Stagnant is not good. Ever.

I am thankful for women God has placed in my life that speak truth into my life and don’t give up on me in frustration.

Women God has blessed me with who gently keep reminding me of His goodness and give a fresh perspective.

A perspective I so often need to get refocused.

Sitting still can be a good thing but at some point we need to get up and move forward again.

Has God told you to be still?

Has there ever been a time when you didn’t move when God told you to? What was the result?

Has God placed anyone in your life to give you a fresh perspective when you need it?
