February
THANK ME for the conditions that are requiring you to be still. Do not
spoil these quiet hours by wishing them away, waiting impatiently to be
active again. Some of the greatest works in My kingdom have been
done from sick beds and prison cells. Instead of resenting the
limitations of a weakened body, search for My way in the midst of
these very circumstances. Limitations can be liberating when your
strongest desire is living close to Me.
Quietness and trust enhance your awareness of My Presence with
you. Do not despise these simple ways of serving Me. Although you
feel cut off from the activity of the world, your quiet trust makes a
powerful statement in spiritual realms. My Strength and Power show
themselves most effective in weakness.
“Be still before the LORD, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his
holy dwelling.”
ZECHARIAH 2 : 13
This is what the Sovereign LORD, the Holy One of Israel, says:
“In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength,
but you would have none of it.”
ISAIAH 30 : 15
But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is
enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the
trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and
completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I
will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength
and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and
dwell) upon me!
2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 9 (AMP)
