Solitude and Silence

[Blade of Truth]

This modern world has a lot of noise and can become distracting. I recommend that we should all take some time reflecting with God in a place of solitude. Spend a little less time talking and some more time thinking. Here are some verses on this topic:


"The one who has knowledge uses words with restraint,
and whoever has understanding is even-tempered.
Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent,
and discerning if they hold their tongues" Proverbs 17:27-28

“Find rest, O my soul, in God alone” Psalm 62:5

"Teach me, and I will be quiet; show me where I have been wrong." Job 6:24

“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”
But you would not" Isaiah 30:15

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Mathew 11:28

"Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed” Luke 5:16

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

I love moments like this, it is so peaceful.

This is beautiful truth! We all need those times of resting in God and being quiet and still; just listening.

I absolutely love silence, especially in the outdoors (well, giving consideration for nature sounds, of course). I've never been much of a talker, and too much worldly "buzz" leaves me worn out and stressed. Then I long to escape to someplace quiet and just... rest God didn't create us to be noisy 24/7.

Wow I wish I knew more people like you! Everyone my age wants to talk, talk talk....

Amen to all of this!

I am actually reading a book right now about how we have "misplaced" the sabbath.
It's a pretty interesting read. Spending more time just being rather than doing...

I used to love the noisy buzzing of everyday life, but now I've come to love silence.

I especially love walking out into the woods sometimes and just listening and watching. It's so calm and peaceful and I feel so close to God that my heart just bursts and I start crying.
