• STAND STILL !

   

  ONE OF THE MOST NEEDFUL lessons the child of God can learn is to stand still--to wait upon the Lord and to see His salvation. Remember . . . God never slumbers . . .

   

  The righteous soul that is wrongly treated will know the vindication of the Lord. It may be delayed but it will surely come.

   

  Our case—yours and mine—is in God’s hands. He is fully awake to our needs. And He reminds us: “In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.” So often we delay His deliverance on our behalf because we take things into our own hands. We think we can do better for ourselves than God will do for us. Then God may allow us to shift for ourselves until we realize the futility of trusting in our own strength and wisdom.

   

  The Word of God tells us that “The Lord reigneth.” That’s an absolute statement and a present fact. Therefore, we can afford to wait and be calm until He acts. He will do so at the right moment. But we must not try to hurry Him! His time and way for our vindication or deliverance are always best. His wisdom and love are always working for our good.

   

  “Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.”

  And I will deal severely with all

  who have oppressed you. I will save the

  weak and helpless ones, and bring together

  those who were chased away.

  I will give glory to my former exiles, mocked and shamed.

  Zephaniah 3:19
