“Be silent unto God and let Him mold Thee.” Ps. 46:10
“Quiet hearts are as rare as radium. We need every day to be led by the Divine
Shepherd into the green pastures and beside the still waters, we are losing the
art of meditation. Inner preparation is
necessary to outward service.
““Rest pauses” contribute to the finer music of life. “He went out into a mountain to pray.” And as He prayed, the fashion of His
countenance was altered.” Therein we
have the example of our Lord.
“We have yet to learn the power of silence. Not in the college or academy, but in the
silence of the soul, do we learn the greater lessons of life and become rooted
in spiritual inwardness.
“The geologist says that certain crystals can only come to
their perfect form in stillness. In the
undistracted moment men are in touch with God and everlasting things.
“The strenuousness of life and the increasing distractions
of the world demand a zone of silence and the quiet hour.
“And Jesus said to them, “Come away to some lonely spot and
get a little rest for there were many coming and going, and they could get no
time even to eat). So they went
privately in the boat to a lonely spot” (Mark 6:31-32). Let us find that spot every day, and the fellowship
of silence. On such moments infinite
issues hinge!”
