silence

It's good for me to be quiet.  Often times my mind becomes so full of thoughts that I need to be silent just to think them.  Even if I were to speak my thoughts, I don't think I could speak them fast enough.

Perhaps silence is the language of God?  Plants reach up to the sun in silence; the clouds pass, the sun sets, and the stars orbit in silence; even babies are conceived and silently grow into individual humans.  Growth and change happens in silence.  

Silence is where I find God. My soul craves for quietness every day.  I need it in order to hear the still, small voice of God whisper deep within. For when I am quieted, God speaks. And when God speaks, I listen.

Psalms 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God"
