When I read this verse of Scripture, I think of us being like a little boy, who won't sit still in a barber's chair, to get a hair cut. How many times, have we been so busy with the affairs of our lives, that we ignore the workings of God.
God has a greater purpose and plan for us, but we are too busy working at our own plans to see it. And when problems arise, we won't stop, and go to God for answers, and for deliverance. No, we have to try and work things out ourselves. There are times when we are successful, but how many times have we not been successful, because we did not know what to do.
It is better to just be still, and watch God, bring things together, for our good. To have understanding, and to obtain wisdom, for life, is to stop talking, and stirring, and let God show us what is possible, and what His purpose is for us, in every event, that takes place in our lives.
We need to take time to be in God's Word, and in precious fellowship with Him, by prayer. and let God show us, that He is indeed God. That He is in control, and that He always will have our best interest at heart! GP
