“Be still, and
know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in
the earth.” (Psalms 46:11)
We must learn to
live a quiet life for God. We exercise to be in tune and meditate in the Spirit
with the Lord. And Christians must let God work and do the talking through His
Word and His Holy Spirit. “The hearing ear and the seeing eye, The LORD hath
made both of them.” (Proverbs 20:12) Dr. Chuck Swindoll (Growing Strong in the
Season of Life, page 62) said: “Two ears. Two eyes. Only one mouth. May that
should tell us something.”
Let me encourage
you to be a good listener, especially to the voice of God as God speaks to you
through His Word, through the preachers, and through the voice of the Holy
Spirit. Jesus told His disciples in the book of Mark chapter six verse thirty
one; “31 And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place,
and rest a while: for there were many coming and going, and they had no leisure
so much as to eat.” We need to find time to be alone with the Lord and
have a quiet time with Him or be still.
The psalmist
said; “Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from
me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come
forth.” (Psalm 88:8)
