The Sound of Silence

How at ease are you with silence? Do you have to have a little background noise or media distraction when you are by yourself? 

Solitude and silence are considered spiritual disciplines of the Christian faith. They are inseparable partners that enable us to surrender control and learn to trust our Heavenly Father, who sees and knows all. 

So let me encourage you to spend 10-15 minutes alone today with no agenda other than to wait on God in silence. After all, in the presence of One who loves and treasures you, words are unnecessary. In fact, they can even become a distraction. So be still, be quiet, and wait in silence for God and God alone.
