The Active Quiet of God

Sometimes quiet can "feel" like a fire to my desire to always be in the know, or center of activity. Quiet does not answer my questions, it places me on hold.

Silence almost feels like the light was turned off, and it's time to go to bed.


But My Heavenly Father never sleeps or slumbers, and the One Who is always Active is seeking to show me how He sees...in my Quiet. 

In the silence I can learn better 

how to link up with His activity.

I do this by waiting in prayer.

I think that some of the greatest hindrances to learning how to view what is happening in invisible Heavenly Places...has much to do with how uncomfortable we are with silence and stillness.


Maybe part of "entering His REST" is simply letting His blanket of quiet come over us without becoming unsettled by the silence.


Learning to trust Him with the details we do not know and wait for His songs to come .... in the night.

"To be of a peaceable spirit brings peace along with it." ~Thomas Watson

"The voice of humility is God's music, and the silence of humility is God's rhetoric." ~Francis Quarles
