Job 37:14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

So much to do today and so little time in which to get it done. Doesn’t that seem to be the way our lives are structured today? With so many things designed to save time; why do we have no time to get things done? Because we have filled our lives with things of little importance. One of the ways Satan is destroying lives today is by filling them with everything, filling them to the point that man has no time for the Lord. Seven times in the Bible we find the phrase “Stand still”. all of them in our reading this morning. Take note that the first and last times the phrase is used is in connection with salvation. We also find that we must stand still in order to hear the Word of the Lord, in order to receive blessings from the Lord, in order to move on in our Christians lives, to have victory in the Lord, and to understand the workings of the Lord. If any or all of these areas seem to be lacking in you, salvation, understanding, victory and so on it may very well be that you are just too busy to see what God has placed before you.
