The value of silence

Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.



One thing brought to my attention at this past youth night is the value of silence. Our lives seem too busy to sit still, be quiet, listen, be patient... The loud morning alarm-clock, the bustling cafeteria, the busy workplace, the classroom, the drive to church, music in the car, cars rushing by, music in the church, music driving back home, music when you go to sleep... God is not only where we look for him, but also where we don't. God can be found in the silence. It is perhaps the silence that speaks the most of God.

We should definitely do more moments of silence during our worship like we did last week.
Our society is so over stimulated with noise that we often forget how beautiful and important it is to be still before God.
Maybe we could plan a worship night up in the mountains once it warms up a bit and escape to a place of peace and quiet.
