Stand Still & See
2 Chronicles 20:17
“Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’
Stand still & see. Dear friend, the Lord is calling you to “stand still and see”. While it is hard to absorb the details of an image when you are on the move, you will begin to see the glorious thing the Lord has for you when you stop trying to maneuver and manipulate, and you turn your eyes on Him. There is something coming out of the spiritual realm – something abundantly beautiful and blessed, which is your tailor made solution, far better than anything you could have created for yourself, but Abba is saying “Stand still and then you will see”.
The Lord is with you: When we face difficult times and unexpected attacks of the enemy, we step into “reaction mode” and begin to respond from a place of fear, pain or disappointment. This could be because we momentarily forget that the Lord is with us. Jesus has promised that He will never leave us nor forsake us. He said that He would be with us always and He never breaks His word. It is good to constantly “practice” God’s presence by connecting to Him through the day, but I find that I can restore order in my heart, even in a bad situation, when I put my eyes back on Him and reconnect to Him through a declaration of divine Truth. I often simply confess something like: “I trust You Lord, You are with me”, or “I will not fear because You are good and You have such awesome plans for me”. The Father says to you today “My son, My daughter, turn your eyes towards Me. I haven’t left you. I am with you as I promised the day you placed your hand in Mine. It is time to stop and rest and feel My presence, child. This situation you are facing is no problem to Me. I have it covered and you will see your breakthrough as you rest awhile with Me.”
Judah and Jerusalem: Judah means “praise” while Jerusalem means “city of peace”. A good way to stand still and feel God’s presence is by stepping into that place of praise. As you lift up your heart to heaven and worship, heaven breaks into the atmosphere and things begin to change. The Prince of peace Himself comes and sits upon our praises. He is peace, and His presence brings such amazing peace that things begin to look very different! The lies of the enemy which daunted and intimidated are melted away in the presence of Peace.
Dear friend, whatever is going on in your life right now, know that God is on your side and He has the perfect solution you are looking for. When you stop fighting this battle and stand still to trust and rest in Him, you will see the mighty miracle-working power of God manifested in and around you, and the victory you so wanted to see. As you worship and praise, God is drawing you into your destiny. This is your time, today is your day. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you!
