In our modern world, we often hear this familiar call to action: Dont just stand there-do something! Theres an inherent danger in trying to force this way of thinking into our spiritual life. Whether we voice the belief or not, sometimes we act as though God needs our help. We wrestle with Him for some degree of control over the events in our life. Somewhere in the back of our mind, we may hear this often quoted counsel,God helps those who help themselves. And though a vast majority of Christians may think this advice is found in the Bible, well my brothers and sisters-it is not! That statement is entirely contrary to the Word of God, which tells us, Be still and know that I am God!( Ps 46:10[NIV]) The Father knows we cant help ourselves-thats why Jesus came to this earth to help us be reconciled to God the Father! While we seek to do Gods will, we must not forget His fundamental call to stillness before Him! When we are quiet in His presence and focused on Him, we put ourselves in the most teachable position possible! Lets down our efforts of trying to keep up with God and simply become quiet! What you discover in the stillness may revolutionize your call to Christian service! Psalm 37:7 Christs M-O-R-E AFC Min BK Young
