When things do not go acording to plan, and doors shut before you. Do not despair. God has other purposes that you do not know. He will reveal in His time. But if you are in the dark about a situation trust that God knows all.
Often doors shut in preparation for change. And change with God is always for the better. We tend to like the status quo. We do not want things to be disrupted around us. Most of us want peace at all costs! But then something that appears haphazard happens and we panic. People we could depend on go their own way; suddenly they are not there anymore. Familiar surroundings that brought us comfort disappear; we can't rely on them anymore. We lose our job; our friends forget us; no one wants to listen to our problems, everyone is too busy with their own.
We can feel that we are falling apart and do not know what to do, how to go about things, or make decisions. The things that we thought were jogging along ok cannot give us the sense of security we need. Where do we go? what do we do?
We look to the Lord, who has been our help in the past. We stand firm in faith, trusting that He will uphold us, and be our strength for each day, each circumstance, each problem. We remember how He came to our aid. He will do it again. He will carry us through. Because He is faithful. Ask Him again. Come with your petitions again! He is able to do more abundantly than we can ask or even think.
'If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it WILL be given him' James 1:5
'Be Still'
'Be Still And Know That He is God'
Symbolism: The Dove is the Holy Spirit. The shadow of wings is the covering of His love. The seat is a place waiting for you to occupy it. The Lily in the pool is the purity of Jesus.The trees are the 'Mighty One's' who watch over you.
YOU ARE INVITED TO ENTER IN!
There is a place, a tranquil, still place right in God's heart. He invites you to come and sit awhile and meditate, listening for His still small voice. Over you are the wings of God, shadowing and covering your life as you sit on the seat prepared for you. The world around is full of trauma and confusion, but in the midst of it all you can find Him and gaze awhile on His beauty and experience His peace.
