Calvary Pointers Morning Showers 01 March 2024 Devotional by Reverend Ajisafe Opeyemi - "SITTING IN THE STILL"
SITTING IN THE STILL
Job 14:14 - If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
Happy New Month beloved, God's promises are ye and amen! As we begin, we will look at someone who received a promise from God well before they could ever enjoy it. The story of Sarah and Abraham always gives me the perseverance to press on when promises seem so far away.
God often gives us the promise way before he gives us the process. God told Sarah she would birth a child in her old age, but God never told her what age that would be.
God also didn’t ask Sarah to assist him in bringing his promise to pass. As time passed, Sarah and Abraham didn’t see or hear anything from God concerning the promise he gave them. They began to think God needed their help to accomplish his promise to them. How many times are we guilty of this as well?
God gives us our destination before he gives us our directions. Maybe to provide us hope, as we are sitting in still places where it feels as if nothing is happening.
A still place is important because it is where our faith is exhibited and strengthened. We learn lessons, obedience, patience, and perseverance in the still place.
It is crucial that we stay faithful in the still places rather than attempting to hasten the process by doing anything to assist God. We also don’t want to emotionally make a decision, to move on to something we think God would have us to do.
In the still place, we learn to identify God’s voice and his silence. If we make a false move without hearing God, we could jeopardize the promise God has given us or delay it.
Sarah and Abraham did decide to make a move without God. They didn’t forfeit God’s promise, but they did add unnecessary stress to both their lives and the lives of others.
Often in our haste to reach a promise, we try to step in and help God like Sarah and Abraham, adding undo stress to a stress-free promise.
Don’t compromise your promise by refusing to wait on God in the still place. Allow God to complete his work in and for you. Get all that God has for you by simply enjoying the still and holding onto his promises. Don’t move, don’t doubt, don’t complain, or strategize, simply be still and wait.
Beloved, do you agree with me that God has a plan for his promise and your life.
Be still, and see the salvation of the Lord. Friend, try in the pursuit of your destiny not to rush ahead of God.
It is well with my soul in Jesus name.
Good Morning and Happy New Month!
