Psalms 46:10
He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Overwhelmed.
The season has been overwhelming and looking ahead, the many uncertainties coupled with our individual problems that is troubling us and making the attempt to journey ahead tough. As we gathered to seek the Lord on Saturday, it was humbling to lock arms and yet be our own individual selves before the Lord.
2012 is about to arrive, and with the many things that we have worked to achieve, the equivalent amount of personal challenges are crippling some of us in the RR community. However, as I sat and waiting in the presence of God, accompanied by the people who have impacted my life greatly, I couldn't help but recognise that even these whom I look up to, are helpless. It made God to be even more sovereign because when no one is able to come to our aid, the only way to look us up or down. I sat in tears, I chose to look up because this was the verse that had triggered the urgent prayer meeting.
When difficulties of life overwhelm us, the Lord still reigns. Just as the hebrews feared the approaching Egyptian army and stood trapped by the red sea before them, they were told to stand and see the salvation of the Lord. Therefore, we choose to stand and be still before God because He will carry us through our individual issues and the challenges that we face in the ministry.
His name be exalted.
