I will take time
to be alone today.
I will take time
to be quiet.
In the silence
I will listen...
and I will hear
my answers.

FURTHER THOUGHTS FOR REFLECTION:
. . . in quietness and trust is your strength. [Isaiah 30:15 NIV]
Be still and know that I am God ... [Psalm 46:10 NIV]
. . .the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever. [Isaiah 32:17 NIV]

"I will listen ... and I will hear my answers."
When you hear your answers, who is speaking?
Yourself?
or
Your God?

Righteousness begets quietness.
Being still precursors knowing God.
And so - quietness and trust are the wellspring of strength!
