The taming power of quiet

Peace, for us is evidence of the presence of God.  Not a peace, that idyllically calls men to tolerate one another in our obeisances, addiction and oddity of taste.  A peace suggesting that someone out there is praying for you, namely Jesus Himself.  What is the nature of a man who can walk calmly in the raging nightmare?  Is this courage, some possession of understanding built upon tragic experiences overcome in past days?  Why now Lord when there is so much to be said, would You counsel me to peace, quiet and brokered silence?  I am once again being called to dependence upon the works of Almighty God, reliance upon His outcome, His effort, His decision and undertakings.  This quiet tames my heart delivering me from critique, accusation and strangely frees me of concern.

There is so much to say to you, about love, the love I have for you, this magical person that was gifted me by God.  Don’t fret, breathe deeply, find a courage that was planted in your spirit by God Himself.  He will never fail you.  Please make note of the discouraging things shouted at you, wanting your paralysis, but do not heed them, for you know truth.  Set a pace that allows you to quickly be still when the Spirit guides.  Soak in the Glory of each moment knowing that it is provision of a Sovereign Father.  Step lightly, with peace, alacrity and purpose, knowing that God will show up at exactly the right time, with the right amount of wind, purpose, support, provision and love.  Jesus, sits at the right hand of God watching everything that transpires, knowing every thing you’ve done or will ever do, never wavering for a millisecond in His love for you.  You have been forgiven, be at peace, stand in courage and know that the Lord is Your God.
