“Their strength is to sit still” (Isaiah 30:7).
“In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength” (Isaiah 30:15).
More ways to wait! Sitting still and being quiet. Life today is very fast paced. There is always something going on. Friends to meet, texting, phoning, checking up on acquaintances on social media. How often do we really and truly sit still, really still, in His presence? Once again, this is connected with strength. We do not get weak sitting quietly with our Lord, but actually gain strength!
And “quietness” ….a missing commodity today. There is always music or some other distraction coming from somewhere!
I was in a shopping mall last week with our little great-granddaughter who has just learned to walk. She was toddling along looking in the windows, when suddenly she stopped and began to sway and bob up and down. I had been oblivious to the music coming out of the store until then, but she heard it! This world is never quiet. We need to cultivate quietness in our lives and build up “the inner man” (Ephesians 3:16).
