Be still…

The devil has been waging a fierce war in my mind lately, and I can’t imagine I’m alone in this. If you’re struggling too, here is something that is helping me today:

“The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14

Be still… if only my mind would be still. Be still and know that He is God. Be still and rest in Him. Be still and let my eyes find focus on the truth of who He is.

When we’re too weary to keep taking captive the bombardment of negative thoughts in our mind… or lift up our shield of faith against the barrage of arrows being launched by the enemy… or even to stand… we need only be still. He is the lover of our soul. The protector of our hearts. The victor in our battles. The calmer of our minds. The strength of our bones. The healer of our brokenness. We need only be still.
