Praycation - Day Three

What do you do when you are confronted with dire circumstances? A season when you cannot move forward and retreat is not an option.  Many voices will speak and vie for your attention with their suggestions.

Despair will tell you to give up. Hopelessness will tell you it useless. Agony will speak words of discouragement. Arrogance will tell you that you’re better than that. Impatience will tell you to do something…do anything but do it now!

Moses and the recently emancipated Hebrews in the book of Exodus faced dire circumstances on the edge of the Red Sea. God responded with “Stand still” or “Stand firm.”

So, what do you do? Stand ready expecting to hear your marching orders from God.  Stand firm until God speaks. Stand still while God prepares the answer, the solution, the promotion, the breakthrough or the breakup. Do not get in the way while God is preparing your miracle.

“Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today.”
Exodus 14: 13
Lord, help me to stand firm today waiting on my marching orders instead of forcing myself into action.
