When times are so hard and we we run to others, we are running away from God.
"Be still and know that I am God" The scripture states clearly. There is a time for everything, and I think in this day in history, more than ever, silence has to be so very intentional. When I get quiet, even the things that were quiet before become loud.
Ever notice that? The background radio that you could hardly hear becomes annoyingly loud when lying on the couch in the afternoon. The Dishwasher during prayer becomes an annoying drumming. The cars going by seem obtrusive during a snuggled reading with the children. Quiet doesn't come easy.
Even Elisha, chosen priest, stole away from all of civilization. God sent many magnificent sights for him to behold from the mouth of the cave, but remember when God showed himself?
In the stillness.
Then when He speaks I sit in awe. When the time comes I rise and I go out bearing more of His name than I did the time before. Amen for the simplicity of how God chooses to meet us.
God is more concerned in doing a work in you than He is about doing a work through you.
