Meet God in His Stillness

 If I ride on the wings of morning,

    if I make my home

     in the most isolated 

     part of the ocean,

Even then You will be there to guide me;

    Your right hand will embrace me,

      for You are always there.

(Psalm 139:9-10, The Voice)

A word was secretly brought to me,

    my ears caught a whisper of it.

Amid disquieting dreams in the night,

    when deep sleep falls on people.

(Job 4:12-13, NIV)

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you. 

(1 Thessalonians 4:11, NIV)

The face of all kinds of pain we find that often there is nothing to say, but it's impossible to be still. 

A woman whose child had been killed in an accident talked about her reactions. No one could say anything that would help, she said, and God was silent too - as if he knew better than to try to say anything. 

The Scripture says to be still and know that He is God, but she couldn't be still, not at all. 

But even when you don't talk to God or have any stillness of your own to bring him, you can still be met by God in His stillness. 

That's why she discovered, that eventually

 'the stillness becomes part of you.'
