BE STILL


We live in a busy, noisy, tumultuous society.  There is noise and demands for our attention almost constantly every waking hour.  There are no quiet Judean hillsides for us to retreat to daily for prayer.  Therefore we must find an inner solitutude in the Lord's presence. (Written by Mel & Tim of The Bridge Church)

Isaiah 30:15 declares that the Lord's purpose if for his people to find quietness and confidence before Him.  The indictment was that his people "WOULD NOT" and therefore had no peace.

Isaiah 32:17 - "The effect of righteosness is quietness and assurance forever."

Psalm 46:10 - "Be still and know that I am thy God..."

The New Testament similarly reflects the same need to mental quietness when it refers to bringing...

"EVERY THOUGHT INTO THE CAPTIVITY TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST"
(2 Corinthians 10:5)

STUFF

Sometimes we just get so overwhelmed with 'STUFF' and in that moment we need to turn to the Lord first. What if we don't know the Lord or fell away but simply need to vent...try women of inevitable truth.  We're  women that have a heart for the Lord, that also struggles in the flesh, but chooses God's Word as our foundation. 

Women of all ages & circumstances:

These are very challenging times.  Days filled with undending adversities. From the moment you get up to the moment you actually get some sleep, PEACE is what we desire.
Philippians 4:7 - Then you will experience God's peace which exceeds anything we can undestand. His peace will guard your heart and mind as we live in Christ Jesus.
