Be encouraged today to ‘be still' before the Lord. Whatever it is today and in all of your tomorrows that you are experiencing and will walk through, find your trust in Him. Rest your soul in Christ only and not in the things of this world and the desires of the flesh. Take the letters you read in His Word, lift them off the pages and paste them to your heart. You will then come to a place of quietness and rest and you will soon discover His power when you are still.
Petition God with these words, print them out if you have to and keep reading them until they gets deep within your spirit. He promises in His Word to be with you and as of today, He's yet to break one of those promises.
"STILL" - Hillsong
Hide me now under your wing,
Cover me within your mighty hand,
When the oceans rise and thunders roar,
I will soar with you above the storm.
Father you are King over the flood,
I will be still and know You are God.
Proverbs 3:5, Hebrews 2:13, Psalm 119:15

It is so easy to get caught up in the world. We are under attack not only daily, but minute by minute by one who tries to steal our peace and our joy. ~Evelyn
HELLO BARBARA!
I just printed it out. Thank you. Times are hard for so many, perhaps it would be easier to bare if all of our faith was in HIM.
Many blessings,
Hi Evelyn: With so much going on in our world today, it's comforting to be still and go before the Lord kowing He is in control of all things. Barbara
Hi Yvette: You're very welcome. Thanks for your insight on faith -- placing complete trust in God is where He wants us to be in Him. God bless you! Barbara

Carol: Thanks for the feature in CC -- learning to be still is a good, solid lesson for everyone to learn -- with it comes rest and being refreshed during the process. GBU! Barbara
Barbara, you are very welcome. I had mentioned trying to chill out and be still and listen for God with Melody Botting earlier today, among other things (LOL). A very timely post, indeed. Enjoy your evening. Love, C.
Hi Carol: Thanks again. Always stay teachable for when you do, God is able to show you great things and important lessons -- you are in transition now so allow His Spirit to lead you in all things -- be still and He will show you the next step. Love you, Barbara
Barbara, what does your schedule look like for Wed? Wanna have bible study in the park with the minions in tow? Will be in PA for the day. I would love to see you. Phone tag, you're it! :-)
I am glad I read that right now. I needed some peace at this moment.
Hi Chuck: Are you okay? Be still and know He is God. Barbara
Hi Carol: I sent you an email. It's crazy until school starts plus no vacation down time for me. One day though we will meet.
However, I hope your time with the family is going great -- when I find a nice secluded island with a hammock tied under a coconut tree, my vacation plans will be booked! Take care, Love you, Barbara
The prophet knew that first hand...and so should we....sometimes the Lords voice is still, not noisy....and small..not large and magnificent.........
It kind of contradicts the ways of the world we live in....... and that is a good thing!!
=-)
Hey Barbara, another nice post. It is nice to know that we are able to go to the Lord for protection. All of us in the real estate business have to be tough skinned at times, and its good to know that if things get too tough, or if I just need support and confidence that I can get both from God free of charge.
Hi Alex: He is King over all the flood -- in stillness there is strength, in Him. God bless you brother and thanks for your post! Barbara :)
Hi Jon: Thanks for posting to the group. What a divine resource it is to have in the simple task of being still before the Lord! GBU. Barbara :)
Barbara, I'm off to cloud watch and be still. We will catch up one day soon. I'm gonna go see Susan M on Thursday. Looking forward to it and sharing some Word with my friends. :-)
Hi Carol: Go with God today and remember "who your Daddy is." Love and hugs to you and the boys. Barbara :)
God is still God! What a great foundation He is! Thanks for your post! God Bless!
Brad
Hi Bradley: Yes, He is! Thanks for your post to the group. Please visit again and God bless you! Barbara
Yes, yes, yes! Be still and know that He is! Excellent post, excellent song and about the best advice under any circumstance. Right up there with Seek first the Kingdom of God.
Come and see the works of the Lord,
Nations cry out and kingdoms fall.
Just be still, and know that He is.
And He'll be exalted over all!
Holy, Holy is Your name.
Bob & Bonnie
Hi Bob & Bonnie: God bless you both and thank you for your encouragement -- God's Word is full of incredible wisdom! I find tremendous rest in stillness and security in knowing that He cares. Thank you for posting to the group -- please stop by again. Barbara

Hi Kathy: You are very welcome. I understand what it's like being tired, truly. Go on vacation with Jesus and He will give you rest. Barbara :)
