Being still is often wrongly understood by many of them. Being still doesn't mean doing nothing. I have heard people say, "God has asked me to be still for things to happen". I appreciate their faith in God, but its sad that they have not percieved the actual meaning of being still.
Being still and doing nothing are two different things. When God asks you to be still, He doesn't ask you to sit idle and wait for doors to open, but He wants us to work with trust and obedience to understand His plan. He wants us to understand who He is (psalm 46:10).
There are certain things in life which are out of our control. We are not given authority to plan or decide specific things. But you can ask God to reveal things that seem to be a mystery. He will certainly answer you as He says in jeremiah 33:3. It needs a lot of faith and patience to understand them.
When you are troubled by mysteries in your life, think of God's promises and His great love. Ask to yourself "is anything too hard for the Lord?".....No. Absolutely nothing. You have to stretch your faith. Remember!! if God desires to reveal His glory in YOU, He works in ways you cannot see(mystery). God allows mysteries in your life so that He can reveal His glory. So don't lose heart. God is working behind the scenes of your life. Expect for surprises from God in your lives!! Stay Blessed!
Resting (being still) isnt passive laziness its active trusting!
~Blessed Christian.
