Discovery

For some people, finding God is a life-long journey. The good news is that God wants to be found by everyone who sincerely seeks Him. Nobody knocks on his heavenly door in vain. Interesting to note that the bible says He’s also to be found in silence. To be still is to discover the real you. In being still you are confronted by the real you. That self that you sometimes want to avoid and hide at all costs. Learn to be still every day for a short time. No, learn to be still before God. Leave all your many, meaningless words. Leave your verbal torrent in his presence. Just be still — quiet. For once, do not utter a word. “In quietness and confidence is your strength” (Isaiah 30:15). Not in all your senseless talking and acting. For a change discover, without words, God’s nearness, dissimilarity, holiness, and beauty.
