Quietness
In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength” (Isaiah 30:15).
“And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever” (Isaiah 32:17).
“Pray much and speak little! ‘Study to be quiet’ (1 Thessalonians 4:11).” So advised an older brother to some young people years ago.
He went on to say, “We can edify one another more by a holy walk than by a great multitude of words. Walk not talk is what is often most important. God dwells in peaceful souls, and the tongue must be at peace also. Behold the fruit of sacred silence! It gives time for, strength collectiveness, prayer, liberty, wisdom, the company of God and a happy state of mind.”
“It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord” (Lamentations 3:26).
There is an old expression that says, Silence is golden. No wonder some of us are so poor.
