We now live in the midst of animated social activity and turbulence. Even within us, our thoughts and emotions are hyper. Even our prayers and "spiritual intentions" are becoming frantic.
This is why many fall ill and we grow in defenselessness to sickness; we are now in a time of much DIS-EASE.
More than ever, God's direction for us to be still, to be humble, is compelling.
We all know humility because we are humble to those superior to us, it is the courtesy we extend to our peers, and the occasional nobility when we are humble before our inferiors.
We all desire a life and a world of peace, happiness, and prosperity; but these can only be if we yield to God's direction, for in truth, what we desire is also what He wills.
James 4:10 "Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up."
Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
