Contemplation
Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth
(Psalm 46; 10; NIV).
Be silent before the Sovereign Lord (Zephaniah 1:7; NIV).
Father,
I never seem to have
Enough time
For silent contemplation.
I’m often tempted
To cut it short,
So I can get on
With all the practicalities
Of my day.
But what could be
More important
Than reaching out to you
Before it starts?
