Silence is…….Golden.
Important
We need silence to relax our mind, our body and our spirit.
It is important that we have silence regularly to give us the time and space to
listen to God talking to us. God’s presence brings us peace and complete calm
physically and mentally. In our silence, God can truly reward us and be with us.
It is good to wait quietly for the
Lord to save
Lamentations 3:26
love
In our silence, we are relaxed and we are able to truly feel
God’s presence and His embrace by sitting still, our mind clear, our spirit
calm. We are able to truly feel God’s arms wrap around us in His eternal
Fatherly love. We can feel the Holy Spirit’s warmth course through our veins.
You only need to remain calm;
the Lord will fight for you
Exodus 14:14
Eerily effective
Sometimes silence can seem scary to us as we hate being left
alone with our own, private thoughts but we need it. The silence helps us
reconnect with ourselves and the world around us. The eeriness and overwhelming
presence of God opens our eyes and our ears to receive and see His message
clearly and without interference.
I find rest in God;
Only he gives me hope.
Psalm 62:5
Necessary
We need it. We need silence. Silence is our solitude and
saving grace. We need it to survive, to strengthen our soul, to relieve the
stress from our busy lives, to stay sane. Silence is necessary to remind us of
what is important in life, what we want out of life and to ask God to guide us
in the His direction.
He should sit alone and be quiet;
the Lord has given him hard work to do
Lamentations 3:28
Teaching
Silence teaches us to be patient, to embrace our
relationship with God and to realise our blessings and be grateful for them.
Silence teaches us how to be with ourselves, how to relax and how to enjoy
simple moments in life. Silence teaches acceptance, reality and about our faith
journey. Silence helps us to be in tune with our spiritual side and realise God’s
love, faith and hope in us.
Even fools seem to be wise if they
keep quiet;
if they don’t speak they appear to
understand.
Proverbs 17:28
Silence is…golden.
To some, it can be a blessing or a curse. Silence is
valuable and free. Silence is what God uses to be with us in prayer, in
presence and in prosperity. Sit still and be with God. Let Him use it to
realise your importance, His love for you, to fear Him, to realise your
necessity to Him and to teach the many wonderful things He has in store for
you.
God says, “Be quiet and know that I am
God.
Psalm 46:10
