Presenting ...
... a weekly letter of encouragement.
April 19, 1993
Good Morning!
Is it possible to know God intimately amidst the bluster and clanging
of our lives?
"Be still and know that I am God."
(Psalm 46:10)
"My soul waits in silence for God."
(Psalm 62:1)
SILENCE...A rare but necessary commodity in knowing God.
Isaiah reminded us that Christ "...will not cry out
or raise His voice, nor make His voice heard in the street."
(Isaiah 42:2) By our trafficked lives we could miss the
quiet voice of Jesus. The Master is not accustomed to yelling
at us over the noise.
Perhaps God gave us a clue about the importance of quietness by
issuing us one mouth and two ears!
"Let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak,
and slow to anger." (James 1:19)
The Apostle Paul instructed the Thessalonian believers to:
"Lead a quiet life"
"Attend to your own business"
"Work with your own hands"
The result? "Your conduct may win respect from
those outside the Church." (I Thessalonians 4:11,
12 NAS/TCNT).
Want to know God intimately and influence your lost friends
toward Christ? Then:
Slow down...Simplify your life...Listen for
God...
Affect a lifestyle that becomes a person who knows
God.
The world will sit up and take notice. After all, no one else
is doing it.
Have a great week!
