Be still! Be silent!

​“Be still, and know that I am God!” (Psalm 46:10)

There are times when all we can do is be still. There are moments when the only remedy is our silence. There is so much noise and so many distractions. If we don’t learn to be comfortable in our own presence and with our own thoughts, more importantly, comfortable in the presence of God, we will not learn the power of silence.

“But the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.” (1 Kings 19:11-12)

“Be silent, that you may hear the voice of Jesus, for when He speaks your strength will be renewed. The eternal Spirit is with His people, but we often miss His power because we give more ear to other voices than to His…Our strength will be renewed, if in silence we yield up to God all our own wisdom and strength. Brethren, I never am so full as when I am empty; I have never been so strong as in the extremity of weakness. The source of our worst weakness is our homeborn strength, and the source of our worst folly is our personal wisdom. Keep silent, you saints, till you have felt your folly and your weakness, and then renew your strength most gloriously by casting yourselves upon the strength of God.” (Charles Spurgeon)

Be still! Be silent!
