“Be Still”

Two words. From you. It means not just staying one place, but being open to your will. To your voice. 2023.

 

the words "Be Still 2023" hand drawn in purple and pink. The title of a song is in the left lower corner. The title is, "Be Still and Know" by Kari Jobe. A scripture is written in the top right hand corner, "Psalm 131:2"

 

Exodus 14:13 – Moses answered the people, “Don’t be afraid! Stand still, and see what the Lord will do to save you today. You will never see these Egyptians again

 

In my thoughts, I heard this scripture. But I thought it was with Jehosaphat. But it’s the Israelites and the Red Sea. And I am remembering your words. And the song/sermon that keeps playing: before you have a hello, you gave a goodbye and it was in reference to this same period.

I remember the “Promised Lan.”

I remember the broken slipper.

I remember that you said, “Don’t look back.”

And I am wide awake at 1:34 on a Sunday morning because I will remember that you are the God of your promises. You are the only wise God. And the word for 2023?

Stand Still.

I thought it was “Be Still,” which is close but I was still questioning it in a way. But now I know it’s because it’s “Stand Still.” Not “Be Still.” Be prepared. Stand in readiness. You will deliver. You will save.

And honestly the word “Deliverance” was turning in my spirit, but it didn’t settle. It wasn’t the whole word. Thank you for your grace, Yahweh.

 

Stand Still – Israel & New Breed

Today I did something. I deleted the entire chat. I have to move on. I have to make room. I believed the promise. But I also believe something changed. Maybe Yahweh realised that I wouldn’t have moved on a year ago which is why it all seemed to point to it will work out. Or maybe it was just me in my feelings. But without a doubt, since last Wednesday, the message is to stop looking back. To make room and to move on. It does hurt. Because I thought I knew what I heard. But I will trust Yahweh. I will trust you. Because you know the end from the beginning.

You know how the ministry will grow. You know how the house will be built. How the book will be written. You know and I am trusting you for it. I know I will need help for all of it. I believe that you are placing people in the right places. Thank you for your word in my life. Thank you for using me for your glory. Amen.
