Be Still

The Daily Bread Podcast

Exodus 14:13-14 - And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever. 14 The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

We live in a world where everyone wants to be seen as perfect, or somehow like the standard of humanity. The best looking, the best life, the best … whatever. We live in a fake world.

In order to maintain this standard, people put on an elaborate show for the world to see. That’s all we see in social media… the things people want to show, the absolute best of their lives. They doll themselves up and essentially do it for their own vanity. The whole thing is a sham. Appearing to you only to get your attention, at the expense of your attention. At the expense of your praise and trying to gain value by you expending your time, energy, thoughts, etc…

Another way people try to maintain this standard for others to see requires lies and manipulation at your expense. After the curtain was drawn back, it seems that I have fallen prey to this. Because to the world, there is one story told about me, but behind the curtain, there is a barrage of insults, claims that contradict all the story outwardly told. Social media posts or group texts that proclaim one thing, and then private phone calls and texts that say another thing all together.

The hardest thing to do is keep quiet and not jump to defend ourselves. What does jumping to defense accomplish?
