When I was preparing for my last conference, I felt completely unsure of myself. It was a strange feeling too, because the previous ‘two’ conferences that were held, I felt super duper confident. During the planning of those conferences I heard God’s voice and His instructions very clear, straight down to the last detail. But when planning that last conference….let’s just say, I was totally unsure of myself.

I was pathetic. I called my Pastor for advice, I called my Sisters in Christ for advice, and the worst part of it, I KNEW not to worry. I knew God was in control of everything, and, but! yet! I still kept trying to fill that weird void within me. I even thought to myself that maybe I heard myself talking and in fact it wasn’t God’s voice at all. I was so confused. I think the confusion came from knowing without a shadow of a doubt that it was God Who told me to plan the new conference and title it from Faith to Faith and from Glory to Glory.” But why was He being so silent, and all of a sudden and after He gave me a title?

Finally, I was reminded of what I’ve always known (Stand still!). The thing is, I know that I am not the only person that has gone through this doublemindedness, because even in the Book of Exodus 14:1-31), Scripture tells us that even the Israelites had bouts of double mindedness, especially when the Pharaoh was in hot pursuit of them. In the midst of this terrible situation, the Israelites complained. Yet Moses stayed faithful, and God saved His people by parting the Red Sea and wiping out Pharaoh’s forces. If we, like the Israelites, are fearful whenever we face obstacles, then we haven’t yet learned the key to surviving the tough times. Like Moses, we must keep silent, fully aware that we have nothing to worry about because almighty God is with us to help us, to provide for us, and to protect us. There is no trouble, heartache, loss, or suffering that His loving hand cannot bring us through or deliver us from perfectly.

Brothers and Sisters do you hear me? when you don’t know what to do, just stand still, don’t be double minded. I think I jumped ahead of myself. Although God told me to plan it, now looking back, I don’t think it was for the date or year that I was thinking. Glad I finally stood still.
