I watched a video recently of a flood. During the flood, on one side of a bridge, the waters were coming down hard, crashing into trees, and wreaking havoc on all that was around it. And on the other side of the bridge, the waters were calm. There was virtually no movement whatsoever. The waters were quiet and still as though nothing was going on around it. It was an amazing thing to watch. One the one hand, chaos, turmoil, and uncertainty were happening. And on the other hand, peace, order, and calmness were happening.
Do you see the dichotomy here? Which one are you? I remember being the former, just a few years back when a flood would come and I didn't always handle things with the faith and trust I needed. I sometimes moved too fast and messed things up, because I wasn't confident in what the Lord told me. Which were are you? Today I can assuredly say that I am more mature in my faith and when a flood comes I know how to stand still and know that God is God. Yes, today I am much more sure in who I am in Christ and although the floods will come, I can remain still until it's time to move in the timing the Lord would have me to move in. I may not know everything to do, but I know how to trust in Him now and that has given me so much more confidence in my decisions.
Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” That scripture is one of many that gives me the strength to remain calm no matter what comes my way. It's something we can all stand on despite our circumstances.
