Stand Still

Loved having these Charlottesville women and a couple more for a weekend of refreshment.

"Stand still!"  How many times as a mom/grandmother/wife have those words left my mouth. Whew! I've applied a lot of sunscreen this past month and when doing little faces that's a frequent refrain.
When I'm taking a fish off a hook for someone, cutting fingernails, getting out a splinter or a tick off those words spew out.

A friend sent this Daily Moments with God post.

"If you are looking for a word today to stand on, I'm going to give you two.
Those words are ... "stand still".  Remember today no matter what goes on, to "stand still".
Stand still and know that God is your Father.
Stand still and know that  God is well able to deliver you.
Stand still and know that God is watching over His Word to perform it in your life.
Stand still and know that greater is He that is in you than anything coming against you in this world.   Stand still and know that Jesus took stripes on His back so that you could be healed.
Stand still and know that Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the Father making intercession for you.   Stand still and know that God said that He would work everything together in your life for your good.  Stand still and know that God knows the things you have need of and He is faithful and just to provide you with those things.
Sometimes we get so busy moving around and trying to figure things out that we fail to be still and know that God is God!   Amen."

Take a moment right now to stand still and remember with confidence who God is and how much he loves you.

"Ah, Lord God!  It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm!  Nothing is too hard for you."  Jeremiah 32:17
