Stand still

Joshua 3:8  kjv. "And thou shalt command the priests that bear the ark of the covenant, saying, When ye are come to the brink of the water of Jordan, ye shall stand still in Jordan".  As the priests went to the banks of the flooded Jordan, the Lord commanded them to "Stand still".  There was no way to go around the Jordan or to get through it. The Lord said " Stand Still". These were the same words He spoke to Moses when the Red Sea was in front of all of the Israelites, with Pharoh and his army pursuing them. There is no difference in our lives today. When the flood of issues come in before us, or a great big problem arises and is surrounding us from the front and back; though it may sound crazy to some, and I believe it did to the many who stood at the banks of these waters, the Lord commands us to stand still.  Standing still is the last thing we think about doing. Our first thought is to question the situation. We ask, How can "I" fix this, how can "I" make it better, or what can "I" do to help? So many times we stop the Lord from moving and doing what He needs to do. Can we stand until the Lord makes His move first?  Remember, faith can move mountains and stop the biggest storms in our lives. Stand still, fear not, and see the Lord do the impossible. Trust in Him. He is God. Give Him Praise today. God Bless you.
