Sit Still!
.
“5 Trust
in the Lord with all
your heart,
and do
not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all
your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs
3:5-6 English Standard Version (ESV)
"Sit Still!"
My mom used to say this when I was a child, squirming when
I should have been sitting, wanting to do something before the right time,
refusing to be quiet and listen.
How often I have shown that same childishness with God,
squirming in His will, getting ahead of His plans, failing to stop and listen
for His voice, especially when life seems hard or confusing.
"Be still, and know that I
am God ... Cease striving and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10, NIV,
NASB)
As a child sees no benefit practicing self-control by sitting still, we see no benefit in the difficult circumstances in our lives.
But Corrie Ten Boom, who obeyed God and suffered in a
concentration camp for doing so, said this:
"When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the
engineer."
