We have all heard the phrase, “Don’t just stand there. Do something.” I take that to heart, because I am a doer. I like to be busy. My mind is constantly thinking, “What can I do next? Is there a project I can complete?” Better yet, I love making sure my spouse has a project going on, as well. Although he tells me, “These projects are coming to a close.” That is really good for a laugh.
To be honest, he may be right. Maybe I should consider how another author turned that phrase around. “Don’t just do something. Stand there.”
Scripture tells me:
1 Samuel 12:16 “Now then, stand still and see…”
Psalm 37:7 “Be still before the Lord and wait…”
Psalm 46: 10 “Be still and know…”
Jeremiah 47:6 “…Cease and be still.”
Zephaniah 3:8 “…Wait for me…”
Psalm 27:14 “Wait for the Lord…”
These are just thoughts for me to consider before planning my next "great" project...or my husband's next one!
