Silence
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him (Psalm 37:7; NIV).
Be silent before the LORD, all humanity (Zechariah 2:13; NLT).
Obey his commands, listen to his voice and cling to him (Deuteronomy 13:4; NLT).
What counts is whether we have been transformed into a new creation (Galatians 6:15; NLT).
Lord,
Waiting for you in silence
Is different every time…
Relaxing,
Restorative,
Or blissful;
Challenging,
Alarming,
Disturbing;
Inspiring,
Awesome –
Even revelatory;
For when you speak,
Our hearts
Are transformed,
And our lives
Turned
Upside down.
