'Stand still!
Stand still!
"When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone, but the righteous stand firm forever." Proverbs 10:25
"Do not be afraid. Stand still , and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today!" Exodus 14:13
One of the first things in military training, is to learn to stand your ground.
Old soldiers will tell you that there is nothing which so tests courage and obedience, as being required to stand still on the field and hold a position in the face of the enemy.
Oftentimes the battle depends on simply standing firm.
The same principle applies in all of life. Much of Christian duty is not active, bustling work — but quiet, patient waiting. There come many times in the experience of each of our lives, when victory can be gained in no other way.
We must stand still and wait for God.
Immeasurable harm is brought about in our personal lives, because we are impatient and cannot wait for the divine call to go forward.
"Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm!" 1 Corinthians 15:58
