Being Quiet

I have a struggle... a continuing struggle.
I am always working on it.... I am never where I want to be with it.

I am loud.

I talk a lot and I have a loud voice. Both of these tend to get me in trouble more then they help.

Isaiah 30:15
This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says:
"In repentance and rest is your salvation,
in quietness and trust is your strength,
but you would have none of it..."

Where is my strength at right now? If I am quiet, and I trust in the Lord, I am sure to find it.

I need to listen to the Lord

Laminations 3:26
it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord.

Job 34:29
But if he remains silent (NIV), what trouble can he get into? (KJV)


Silence is a form of worship. -Elisabeth Elliot.
