'Be Still'

'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.

Do Not fear.

The Egyptians were pursuing the Israelites and thought they had them cornered at the Red Sea. They were trapped and there was no way forward. It was a dark night of fear and uncertainty. But God in His mercy came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. The Angel of the Lord which had gone before in the form of a cloud moved from before them to behind them, and the cloud appeared as darkness to the Egyptians, but was light to the Israelites Ex 14:20. At the same time God was preparing a way of escape for His people. A strong east wind blew all that night and made the sea dry land. The children of Israel crossed the Red Sea on dry land because the waters were like walls on either side of them. When the Egyptians tried to pursue the waters covered them and every one was drowned in the sight of the Israelites Ex 14:29 they saw them dead on the sea shore.
We so often think that we have to work the miracle needed for our deliverance. But God has provided the means whether practical or spiritual to come to our aid. He takes care of His own and has provided for every eventuality. Our problem is that we believe He can do it, but question 'how'. No one would have guessed that the Red Sea would be parted by a strong wind and the people would pass over dry shod. They also saw with their eyes their enemies, who had kept them as slaves for four hundred years, gone before their eyes! Our Moses stretched out His hand on the cross so that we could escape the enemy!
You time of deliverance will come. Do not fear because of the delay. God is working out a better plan for you than had you been delivered sooner. You will see your enemies sinking before you and covered from your sight to trouble you no more. You will have a more powerful testimony because of this. Many will hear it and find the strength to trust through their dark night.

Say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, and do not fear, for your God is coming to destroy your enemies. He is coming to save you.”  Isaiah 35:4
