Direction for life – Dr. Paul Dhinakaran

“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)
“Be still, and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10). This is God’s promise for you today from the Scriptures. God says ‘Be still. Don’t move. Let me go before you.’ Once David had to face the philistines in battle, and he asked God how and what he should do to face the philistines and how to fight the battle. God told ‘David go, wait behind the mulberry bush, and be still. Wait until you hear the rustle on top of the mulberry bush. Go into battle when you hear that rustling sound; it is the sign I have gone before you. ’ David did exactly so and had great victory.

Jesus told His disciples to go, wait, and be still in the upper room when He would be taken away from them (Acts 1:8). The disciples obeyed and waited in prayer. In Acts 2:1-4, it says, they all united and waited in prayer. They were still before God allowing God to go before them. God’s Holy Spirit came upon them as tongues of fire and they began to speak in new tongues. They received the direction of God for their lives. This is what happens when the Holy Spirit comes into your life. Miracles, signs, wonders, and honor came to them.

In Luke 10, we read about Jesus visiting the house of the sisters – Mary and Martha. Mary waited at the feet of Jesus, but her sister Martha was worried about the household chores. She was not still and because of that blamed her sister and Jesus before everyone. However, Mary waited at the feet of Jesus and took in His every word. Do you know what happened? Jesus said ‘Mary has chosen the good part, which will never be taken from her.’ It was only when Mary came, her dead brother Lazarus was resurrected. Yes friend, you will have resurrection. When you are still at the feet of God obeying and waiting for His command and guidance, you will have resurrection. You will see God working as God for you in your life.

Prayer:
My loving heavenly Father,

Thank you for today’s promise word. Give me the grace to wait at your feet. Give me the grace to experience your power as God in my life.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
