How many of us would love to have a few hours of silence and solitude? I am talking about complete, uninterrupted silence? What if we had 24 hours of silence? Where would our thoughts go? Would we or could we rest? Would it calm us or make us agitative? Would we love it or hate it?
Because of this crazy world we live in today, we all need a little silence and solitude in our lives. It is important. A time to clear our thoughts and be still and quiet so we can hear God's voice and only His voice speaking. We have so many things going on in our heads that distracts us and brings discouragement and weariness. Rest can help get us back in tune with God. "Be still, and know that I am God." Psalms 46:10
The Bible tells us that Jesus loved times of silence and solitude. "And He (Jesus) withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed." Luke 5:16
Jesus often wanted His disciples to spend time in silence. "And He said unto them (disciples), come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while..." Mark 6:31
Ask God today to help you find time for a little silence and solitude in your life. A time to rest and refresh our minds, hearts, and souls.
Love in Christ,
Tera
