Blaise Pascal once remarked that 'most of our human problems come because we don't know how to sit still in our room for an hour.'
This is an interesting take on finding time to be silent before the Lord. Is it true that many of our troubles could stem from our desire to 'fix things' in our own way or time?
What do you think of this? How often have we run ahead of God, without taking time to know his plan or purpose?
I think it is appropriate to reflect on this in light of the disciple's obedience in Acts 1:8. Jesus told them to 'wait for the gift', which was the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We know that they did actually wait, and when the Spirit came it changed everything.
Exercise: Can you find 5 minutes to sit in silence? How would this feed your soul?
