Be still and listen

Moses answered the pople, ‘Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. “ – Exo 14:13

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, ‘This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!’” – Matt 17:5

Be still and listen to God was the command of Moses to his people. Often times, when things go in an unexpected manner, we experience frustration and worry. How easy is it to fall into this trap of taking things to our own hands. But, if we allow God to take charge of every moment of our lives, then there is no fear. With God, there is only goodness and security, not by our standards, but by His. So let us learn to walk in faith and trust in God in all that we do.

PRAYER:
"Father in heaven, I am but only human. To worry, to become angry when things do not go well is how you have created me. But God, let not these moments of unneccessary self-imposed emotions rule me over. Help me Lord, to walk in complete blind faith, to trust in all that You have for me; for I know that my path shall be lit by Your light. Grant me the boldness and courage to do all that is good and right for Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
