Be Still

There is a part of a song there goes like this:

When the oceans rise and thunder roars
I will soar with You above the storms
Father You are King over the floods
I will be still and know You are God

In spite of the dire situations that we may find ourselves in, be still
at heart and know Abba Father is working behind the scene to turn things
in our favour for our good. Not all things are pleasant and not all
goings are cosy all the time but we can rest in the grace of God for He
is more than able and willing to see us through those difficult times.

There may be times when the going seem so tough for us to bear that we
are brought to the point of giving up. Do not look within ourselves to
overcome the odds but look to the everlasting love of God to see us
through. His timing may seem slow at times but He will always deliver
perfectly on time, all the time!

In life, the oceans may rise and the thunder may roar. There may be fear
in our hearts as well. However, we are to be still in our hearts for God
is good all the time and He will see to it that we always come out of
the shadow of the valley of death victoriously. He unwavering love is
best demonstrated at the cross where His only begotten Son, Jesus
Christ, died on our behalf to reconcile us to God! Hallelujah! We are
drafted into the kingdom of God by that perfect work at the cross.

For some, the doctor's report may seem like a death sentence but the
doctor does not have the final word. Jesus always has the final say in
our lives for He is the Author and Finisher of our faith. He is the
beginning and the last. Look to Jesus and be healed of the dreaded
disease. Look to Jesus and be made whole. It is as simple as that. We
only need to put our trust in His abundance grace towards us.

In the old testament, when the children of Israel were bitten by
poisonous snakes in the wilderness, the Lord instructed them to look at
the bronzed serpent on the wooden pole. And whoever looked at the
bronzed serpent were healed while those who kept looking at how bad
their wounds were died. We are to look at the finished work of Jesus at
the cross. For whatever we need has been accomplished at the cross.
Jesus will satisfy our need and want according to the riches in glory in
Christ Jesus.

Don't focus on the storms in our lives but look to Jesus and be at rest
and see ourselves soaring over all our problems. Hallelujah.
