See how nature - trees, flowers, grass - grow in silence.
See the stars, the moon, the sun,
how they move in silence." - Mother Teresa of Calcutta
I find it interesting that our world is obsessed with noise and when we seek to be liberated from all the sounds of life, we face plenty of opposition. More often than not, the resistance comes from within our own hearts. We may feel a pull towards silence, but we struggle to let go of the noise. We keep the TV on, we keep the notifications pinging on our phones, we turn the radio on when we drive - we are afraid of the silence.
But, why is this?
Are we afraid of God may say to us?
If silence is Golden, why do we resist it so much?
Job 33:31 - "“Pay attention, Job, and listen to me; be silent, and I will speak."
Revelation 8:1 - "When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour."
Challenge: Try and spend some time in silence today and just 'be' in the presence of God.
Living in Grace
