“Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act…”

(‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37‬:‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬)

- Be Still.

- It’s a strong command but such a difficult thing to do!

- But the key to being still is who you are with.

- The Psalmist says “In the presence of the Lord”

- When you wait on Him, you are waiting with the one who is the answer to the problem!

- You are waiting with your healer!

- In Exodus‬ ‭15‬:‭26‬ , He says “I am the Lord, who heals you.”

- You are waiting with the Joy giver!

- Nehemiah 8:10 says, “the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

- You are waiting with Peace.

- “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬)

- You are waiting with perfect Love.

- 1 John 4:8 says, “God is Love”

- So if you are waiting with Love, it also means that you are in the absence of fear!

- 1 John 4:18 says, “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear.”

- When you wait with the Lord, and Hide yourself in Him, Fear will be driven out from in front of you, along side of you and from behind you!

- While you are waiting on Him it does not mean that nothing is happening and things are stagnant.

- While you are waiting God is working!

- And while you are waiting, God is doing something amazing in you!

- Isaiah 40:31 says that “Those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.”

- ‭‭ God is renewing your strength as you wait.

- God is preparing you to run and not wear out.

- God is giving you the ability to walk and not pass out!

- He’s infusing you with energy from the Holy Spirit!

- He is building you and strengthening you!

- Today, learn the importance and the power of being still in the presence of the Lord!

- Have a great Tuesday!
