Good Morning Still One!

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

Have you ever spent time fighting for your mental and emotional health at the same? It can be exhausting, daily one battle after another battle and each one leaves you more exhausted than the one before! What is your next move? Your next move is to move out of the way and let God do His job! Your only job right now is, To Be STILL! You have to let go of where you are now and rest in where you are going next! It’s time to embrace the Word of God, “Be Still and know that He is God”, Psalm 46:10!

When you really get tired of fighting, you will be still. The more I’ve said this verse, the better I got, The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still; but you have to make this your personal declaration, The LORD will fight for me; when I become still. The more  you meditate on God’s Word, the more you can see yourself and how you have been getting in the way of what God wants to do!

Can I be transparent with you this morning and ask you a question? Have you ever carried stuff and stress in your life, and instead of stopping or saying no, you just kept piling on the weight, you just wouldn’t stop and be still and now you are tired! I have done this so many times, I would be striving and struggling to be in places that I should have never gone, trying to make what once was, what’s now, I’ve been holding onto thoughts in my heart and mind that are really not there! Free your mind and Embrace the Release!

It’s time to be still so that you can hear God, even if you have to ask Him again to tell you, don’t let fear or pride stop you, ask your Father again to tell you what you need to do and when you get quiet and still He will speak to you again, but be sure that you really want the answer to the question that you are asking Him! So many times, we ask God for an answer and when He answers we don’t take heed because it wasn’t the answer you wanted, but it was the answer you needed! Remember your Father knows exactly what you need, He knows better than you, however He’s not going to force you or make you do anything, you have to lay your wants down, to receive His Will!

No more going back, no more why me! God is going to strengthen you supernaturally in this next season, you have not lost any ground and your hold is being tightened so be still, stop thinking about where you should be in this moment and live in moment where you are right now! Put your mind at ease and rest, know that God’s Presence is present with you here and now! May the gift of God’s Grace overpower any feelings that you may have had about yourself that is not like Him! And may that same Grace be used to allow Him to do a deep healing in your heart as He fights for you!

In stillness lies your strength! Release the burdens, cast all of your cares on Him, Matthew 11:28; your shoulders were not made for this, relax the Lord will fight your battles, just don’t you get weary in doing what is right! God loves making a way in your life, after all the battle actually belongs to the Him anyway! Do you know what’s the best thing for you to do right now, Be Still, Strong and Sure and Believe the Truth of God’s Word! We you learn how to turn over your trust to God’s truth, it will lift off what was weighing you down and now you can be still, because it’s hard to be still when you are weighed down!

This is what I have learned over the years as I have gotten closer to my Father, you will not, become the man or woman that you are meant to be without times of stillness and quietness!  In order to embrace the Presence of God, you must enter into a place of solitude (alone time) and stillness, just you and Him. Quietness and Stillness are two very important things that you must have in your physical, emotional and spiritual life,it helps you grow as you grow!

Let’s Pray:
Thank You Father for keeping me! Father, today I’m releasing every burden that I’ve been holding on to, (even the ones I never mention)! I’ve given it to You and then I have taken it back, no more, it’s all Yours! I no longer want to or have the capacity to worry and carry this weight, it has held me back to long! Father, please forgive me for trying to fight this battle in my own strength, for I now that I do not have the strength nor power. But, I do know that I can do all things through You and when I learn to leave it alone, take my mind and mouth off of it and Be Still, You will fight for me! Father, You are my All in All, my covering, my protection, my sustainer, my keeper and my provider! Father, Thank You for Your Mercy and Grace that You give; I trust You to guide and grow me In Jesus Christ Name. Amen!

Blessings…
