25 The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him,
to the one who seeks him;
26 it is good to wait quietly
for the salvation of the Lord. Lamentations 3:25-26
Do you find yourself talking to God and sometimes crying out to Him for answers? Shouting at the top of your lungs for a response, or shouting on the inside for a clear and present feeling. Yes, you can shout in silence and I have done it. I have shouted so loud internally that my body aches in pain from the scream. That probably didn't do much good, and the answer didn't come any quicker than God intended. On many of my walks in the morning, there is a great deal of silence in the darkness, but there is always sound. I pray while I walk, but times the distraction of the darkness doesn't lend itself to a calming quiet conversation with God. I even find that in my silent conversations with God, they can tend to be one-sided of me asking why or how, instead of being grateful for the why and how. Sometimes we just need to remember to be quiet, in our heart and our mind. We need to be quiet, not for Him to hear us, but for us to hear Him. We need to wait patiently and quietly for the answer, because in my experience most of the answers have come when I am at peace and in a quiet place. Quiet is good, just remember to be quiet on the inside and outside when you need to be.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
