Make Some Quiet

Quiet ain't so bad! Some folks care little for solitude so they pack life full of goings, gatherings and entertainment. It doesn’t seem so long ago my life was filled with little-then-big boy sounds and such; and, yes, this Mama looked for a little quiet! Charles H. Spurgeon writes, “We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in His service.” While being still before God is an intentional act of obedience, we are also instructed to be still with purpose: “Be still and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10). Mister Bill assures me he can be in a mental state of mindlessness – uh, okay. However, in spiritual stillness - with heart and mind and soul centered on The Creator - we begin to understand the purpose of "being still" ... allowing God to reveal Himself to us as He says in the latter part of this verse, “I will be exalted among the nations! I will be exalted in the earth.” As The One Most High elevates Himself to all and in all, He ultimately takes His rightful place in the hearts of those who deeply love and intensely seek Him! Will you claim moments each day to exalt (promote) God in your life? Make some quiet!
