Sometimes, God calls us to action and other times, He calls us to be still. It can be difficult to know when to do which. That's why we must stay in His word and in prayer. If you always act, but don't rest or just be still, you burn out. However, if you always rest and be still, you might miss opportunity to be His hands and feet, you might miss being ministered to. You might miss hearing His voice in those quiet moments. Sometimes He just calls you to recharge.
Today, I got an update on Mr. Bluebird. The vet taped and cleaned his broken wing. Now, Mr. Bluebird must be still and give his wing time to heal. Sometimes we feel broken by life's trials...or the trails God leads us down. Sometimes we need time to be still and to heal,...so we will ..once again...be strong to fly, to Glorify His Name! Sometimes, if we don't give ourselves just time to sit at the feet of the Savior, we aren't strong enough for the next challenging situation. So, if God is calling you to be Still,...please rest in the Shadow of His wing and be still.
Blessings,
Rachel
