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.
