Silence. Stillness. Waiting.

Silence can be deafening.

Stillness can be the hardest thing I do.

Waiting can seem endless.

But in the silence, 
when I am still, 
waiting expectantly, joyfully, patiently, confidently 
I hear God speak.
Not audibly, but it is assuredly Him nonetheless.

And so, I relish silence, even when it screams to be broken.

I practice stillness, even when life shouts "do something". 

And I wait. Because He who promised is faithful.

"And I am sure of this, 

that He who began a good work in you 

will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."

Philippians 1:6

"And we know that for those who love God 

all things work together for good, 

for those who are called according to His purpose."

Romans 8:28

"Let us hold fast 

the confession of our hope without wavering, 

for He who promised is faithful."

Hebrews 10:23
