“. . . in quietness and trust is your strength. . .” (Isaiah 30:15)
When we are extremely busy with all of life’s activities, we may miss opportunities to experience the blessings that come from quietness. The practice of quietness can be a source of strength and encouragement in the midst of life’s difficulties. True quietness allows us time to center ourselves, to offer up our burdens to God, and to gain hope and strength for the struggles ahead of us. One hymn writer put it this way, “Blessed quietness, holy quietness – What assurance in my soul! On the stormy sea, He speaks peace to me – How the billows cease to roll!” (Manie Ferguson).
As we approach the end of the year, may we have an opportunity to know the strength and peace that comes from quietness and trust.
