A few weeks ago, the LORD told me that I needed to find a quiet place with Him. I was reminded of Jesus’ invitation to His disciples in Mark.
“Then Jesus said, ‘Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.’” [6:31 NLT]
I know that the LORD was asking me to find that quiet place within my own soul as Psalm 62 describes.
“Let all that I am wait quietly before God, for my hope is in him. He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will not be shaken.” [Psalm 62:5-6 NLT]
As I have searched for that quiet place within my soul, I have become aware that in our world today it is difficult to find quiet. We are bombarded constantly with noise. As I have focused on “inner quiet,” the “outer noise” seems louder and louder.
Perhaps it is my “old age.” Perhaps it is the beginning of truly yearning to sit apart with the LORD. I long for quiet.
LORD, amid this world’s noise and distractions, quiet my soul before You today. Amen
