THIS IS THE WAY
As I sit quietly each morning I ask the Lord for a certain kind of quietness. Like this morning I wanted it to be as quiet as a cat walking, as quiet as the owl flies at night and as quiet as a falling, writhing leaf headed to the ground during this Fall season. Sometimes this happens, sometimes not. It was quiet this morning.Much of the results for quiet rest with us; and where we have chosen to be quiet… if we have a choice. Whatever our circumstances might be, through practice and desire we can be ‘silent inside’ as we wait and listen. I think this is what we are waiting to hear:
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.” (Isaiah 30:21 NIV)
That’s what I need to hear.
“Everyone who hears my words and obeys them is like a wise man who built his house on rock.” Jesus
