Restful Warfare
One of the keys of silence is rest. There is such a need to unplug and let the quiet envelope us once again.
But in that rest comes war. The silence, if we allow it to take effect, will actually us to hear the voice of God more clearly. There is an enemy with a stake in us NOT hearing God. It’s why he likes us having so much noise in our lives.
Coming aside is a paradox. Rest for the soul, but warfare as well. In both we find the hand of God.

Good word. I remember Henry Blackaby said, “Don’t just do something, stand there.” We need to learn to listen. Have to be quiet to do that.
The psalmist says “Be still and know that I am God” that alone is enough to get started in hearing his voice.
It’s the BEING STILL that’s the problem.
