Proverbs 10 The Power of Stillness – Trusting the Healing Process (with Proverbs 10)
Theme
Why “being still” is essential for spiritual healing and growth. Proverbs 10 reminds us that wisdom and blessing come to those who live righteously and trust in God, showing that lasting fruit is the result of Spirit-led living-not striving.
Personal Story
I used to think healing meant constant effort-praying harder, working more, fixing myself. But the Holy Spirit taught me the power of stillness. When we’re still, we let God draw near and do what only He can do. As I practiced being still, my trust in Jesus grew. I began to see that healing is less about striving and more about surrender.
Jesus commands us to ask, seek, and knock (Matthew 7:7-8). But after asking, we must trust Him to answer in His way and time. The more I leaned into stillness, the more I experienced God’s faithfulness and the peace that comes from letting Him lead.
Proverbs 10:22 says, “The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it.” True healing and blessing come when we stop striving and learn to rest in Him.
Relevance Today
In a noisy, busy world, stillness is radical. It’s the posture that invites the Holy Spirit to do deep, lasting work in us. Proverbs 10 contrasts the rush and folly of the world with the wisdom and peace of the righteous, reminding us that true fruit comes from trusting and waiting on God.
