Are You Ignoring God's Call to Be Still?

Being still is something that I often struggle with, but it’s a vital part of my spiritual journey. In this message, I share how God has been leading me to embrace stillness in His presence. I often find myself jittery and distracted, constantly moving and thinking, which makes it hard to focus on God. However, I’ve learned that being still is not about doing nothing; it’s about being intentional in my relationship with God. As we approach 2025, I believe it’s crucial for us to trust God completely and to be still in His presence. This message dives into the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, who faced their own struggles with faith and waiting. Despite their old age and childlessness, they continued to seek God. I relate to Zechariah’s doubts and fears, and I want to remind you that it’s okay to have moments of unbelief. God is close to the brokenhearted, and He hears our prayers even when we feel hopeless. I encourage you to keep praying and seeking God, even when it feels like nothing is happening. The discipline of stillness can lead to profound rewards. Just as Zechariah was silenced for nine months, we too can use our quiet moments to reflect, pray, and grow closer to God. Stillness is an act of trust and surrender, allowing us to align our hearts with God’s will. As we prepare for the new year, let’s commit to being still and knowing that He is God. Let’s focus on His promises and allow Him to guide us. Remember, it’s not about what we can get from God, but about serving Him for who He is. I hope this message inspires you to embrace stillness and trust in God’s timing as we move into 2025.
