Stream in the Desert May 10
Lie Still and Trust
Scripture: "I had fainted unless…!(Ps. 27:13).

Today's Scripture & Insight:
Psalm 27:1-4
Of David.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked advance against me to devour me, it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then I will be confident.
4 One thing I ask from the LORD, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Psalm 27:11-14
11 Teach me your way, LORD; lead me in a straight path because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes, for false witnesses rise up against me, spouting malicious accusations.
13 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.


    "FAINT NOT!"

  How great is the temptation at this point! How the soul sinks, the heart grows sick, and the faith staggers under the keen trials and testings which come into our lives in times of special bereavement and suffering.

  "I cannot bear up any longer, I am fainting under this providence. What shall I do? God tells me not to faint. But what can one do when he is fainting?"

  What do you do when you are about to faint physically? You cannot do anything. You cease from your own doings. In your faintness, you fall upon the shoulder of some strong loved one. You lean hard. You rest. You lie still and trust.
It is so when we are tempted to faint under affliction. God's message to us is not, "Be strong and of good courage," for He knows our strength and courage have fled away. But it is that sweet word, "Be still, and know that I am God."

  Hudson Taylor was so feeble in the closing months of his life that he wrote a dear friend: "I am so weak I cannot write; I cannot read my Bible; I cannot even pray. I can only lie still in God's arms like a little child, and trust."

  This wondrous man of God with all his spiritual power came to a place of physical suffering and weakness where he could only lie still and trust.

  And that is all God asks of you, His dear child, when you grow faint in the fierce fires of affliction. Do not try to be strong. Just be still and know that He is God, and will sustain you, and bring you through.

  "God keeps His choicest cordials for our deepest faintings."

  "Stay firm and let thine heart take courage" (Psa. 27:14, --After Osterwald).

Be Still My Soul

Scriptures to Respond
Isaiah 40:30-31
30 Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Psalm 31:14
But I trust in you, LORD; I say, “You are my God.”

Reflection:
Have you experienced being so feeble that you couldn’t even pray? Do you know that you can trust God in silence and rest so that He can help you regain your strength?

Prayer:
Dear Lord, may your Spirit help me be sensitive to my own spiritual situation so that I can regain my strength in silence and go on living for you with power.
