Hai fam ◡̈ The video in this cuts off super early because I ran out of storage but honestly it's so perfect for this video.
I feel like this set and my season is all about sitting in the silence and listening and looking at only Jesus. So there is a lot of just music and silence in this set.
I feel like God has been calling me into the deep, into the silence, back into the secret place with just Him alone. My life has been so out of wack, my overthinking and my thoughts have been racing and so overwhelming, so many decisions and transitions are happening that require my attention, and in the deep, my insecurities, sins, brokennesses, weaknesses, and traumas are resurfacing as God wants to walk with me through them again. Where I thought God was opening up new seasons of opportunities for me that might be a fruitful and a harvesting season, instead was Him nudging at my heart to come back into hiddenness. Into "private adoration".
There's so much in my life that I'm confused about. So many areas where I want clarity and control, for things to sort out ASAP. But the Lord slowed me down and reminded me "Be still and know that I am God". When we think of "be still" we think of just like sitting and waiting lol but God is so intentional and deep and I found that the phrase "Be Still" in the bible is actually derived from the Hebrew word rapha which means “to be weak, to let go, to release.” Ultimately this phrase meaning to "surrender".
Jesus is asking me "Will you trust me? Will you trust my timing?". Knowing that He who takes care of the lilies and the birds would take care of me that much more. That in the midst of the unknown, in the fear, the impatience, the waiting, that I would be still and remember who my God is. That I would sit in His peace, endless faithfulness, and cast all my anxieties on Him, knowing that they are taken care of and are in His hands. A deep level of trust to the point where I don't have to do anything, but sit in His grace and worship Him, exalt Him, adore Him, and thank Him for all He has done, is doing, and will do.
Also just a quick note is that for people like me who are very GO GO GO and busy and have a hard time sitting in the silence or just having a season of not doing much (just being faithful to the everyday "little" things), because it feels like a waste of time and we hate sitting with our thoughts for an extended period of time :( I am learning that as Daniel was faithful to the little things which led to bigger things, our stillness to allow God to work on our character and develop the inner person so that we can be used for His plans He has for us, in His timing, is not a waste of time and is so important. If we don't let God work on the foundational stuff in us, we'll just fall apart and get hurt when we're not ready to face what He has for us. This time of development and readying is crucial. It is now just a matter of us trusting that God is God and He never wastes a moment and knows where He's taking us.
My faithful God who has never failed, who has never been too late or too early, who has never forgotten about me, who is always thinking of me, and who is the God above all. The all powerful and all perfect, Lord of Lords. I worship and entrust my life to Him.
So hide me, protect me, and keep me wherever you want me to be, I want to be faithful & abide in You.
And finally, I pray that the Lord speaks to you during this set. That He would bring you deeper understanding and revelation of who He is and that you would stand in awe of His majesty and in turn worship Him. That every worry and doubt would vanish in the presence of God and in Jesus's name, and would be replaced with the peace which abounds all understanding and a faith/ trust that is unmovable.
Psalms 46:5-10
"God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
Come, behold the works of the Lord,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the chariots with fire.
“Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!”

What started as a conviction has now become an enormous privilege and blessing to share with you all and I pray God would continue to use this platform for His glory and that His presence would fall upon each and every one of His children who comes and joins me in worship. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD!
