Silent night
December 21, 2009 | Faith: Knowing Christ
Listen.
Silence.
Rest.
Solitude.
You find these words throughout Scripture, but not so much in our daily lives. Today my to-do list is cra-azy! In fact, there’s no way I’ll get it done. And I could add several more to-do’s on my list. I have so much I want to accomplish, so much that I’d love to explore.
There is enough time, but not to do it all at once, especially when a holiday has been thrown in the mix. And I know I said “holiday”. Please don’t scold me. It’s the holiday preparation that creates busyness, not the Christ part of it.
But as I stood beside my daughter and son-in-law yesterday at New Heights church in Fayetteville, the pastor’s words enclosed around my heart. The simplicity of Scripture spoke to me, right where I was.
I need to be silent, to close it all down, if even only for a half hour and just listen to God in the silence. Not just today, but every day.
So, love you like crazy, my friends, but I’ve got an appointment with Someone special.
