Stillness

stillness - How can I know when God wants me to take action and when I should be still?

Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.

Psalm 46:10

Isaiah 30:21

Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act.

Psalm 37:7

Exodus 14:13

INDECISION MEANS no decision. When we don’t know whether to stay or go, we should pray, wait, and watch for God’s guidance.

If you are facing a difficult decision and need direction from God, then set aside time to talk to him and be still, waiting for his answer. He can be trusted to lead you in his perfect timing.
