Day 11: The Silence Of God

It is a silent morning,
except for the sounds of the outside
of all the little critters just communicating
in languages I don't understand.
It is a silent morning,
and now the sprinklers just popped on,
adding to the orchestra of the sounds of the outside.
It isn't a silent morning outside,
yet in my inside it is.
I just am.
This is a rare occurrence,
as I am so STILL
that I am just sitting in WAIT,
as I want to hear what GOD has for me.
Tears now trickle down my face
and I don't know why.
I close them, and continue to move my fingers along the keyboard
wanting for some revelation,
when actually I am sitting in the revelation
and hearing GOD,
as the silence
is GOD.
GOD never stops showing up.
This quietness. This peacefulness
This just being in the moment
WAITING for something new to happen in me
and around me
is making me miss this precious moment
of just being with GOD.
What if everyone in the world just stopped for a second
and was silent?
Would everyone be able to hear the
PRESENCE of GOD
and have the same tears I have in this
perfect STILLNESS that is unexplainable,.
so that I don't want it to leave this moment.
And why?
Because GOD doesn't want to leave
being in our presence.
And all HE
wants is for ALL to show up,
and to
BE STILL & KNOW.
To KNOW what,
or should I say to
KNOW WHO?
"The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;
HIS mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness"
(Lamentations 3:22-23)
Try it.
WAIT in the silence with GOD,
because GOD can't WAIT to show up in your STILLNESS.
For it is
GOD who will make you be oh so very STILL
that no words need to be said,
because you become so overfilled with
HIM
that you become speechless
and never want to leave the STILLNESS.
But if GOD is everywhere
then STILLNESS is everywhere,
and all you have to do is just stop
to hear HIM.
OH JOYFUL JUNE!
"BE STILL AND KNOW"
