Walk On

So many times in life when we're facing struggles and trials we're told by others to just walk on. We even tell ourselves to just keep walking and eventually we'll make it through. But, that's not God's way. God tells us "Be still," seven different times in His Word. It's always telling us to sit and wait on the Lord. He says, in Psalm 46, "Be still and know that I am God." In Psalm 4 he says, "Meditate on God with your heart, and be still."

Sometimes we get so busy with things we forget to just be still and know God. Or sit still and wait for God. His plans, and His ways, are not our ways or plans. Our ways and plans can interrupt God's plans for us. If you're in the midst of a storm, don't try to outrun it, be still and let the storm pass. If you absolutely have to run, run into the storm, not away. If you run through the storm you will get to the place of peace faster. If you run away, it will eventually catch up to you and you'll have to suffer longer.

Yes, we have to walk on with God throughout our lives, but there are times when God wants us to just sit and be still and allow Him to do whatever work He's doing. Our continuing to walk delays the blessings, the gifts and the lessons that He's trying to teach us during those times He wants us to sit still and meditate on Him. He has everything under control, so what can we do? Nothing. So instead of trying to do whatever plan you have, just do nothing to begin with. Sit still and let God do the work.

In the trouble: be still. In the trial: be still. In the storm: be still. In chaos: be still. In confusion: be still. In heartache: be still. In grief: be still. In peace: walk on. In triumph: walk on. In joy: walk on. In happiness: walk on. In victory: walk on. In health: walk on. In Jesus, walk on.
