Today’s scripture: Isaiah 30:15-18
If our lives are simpler – if less of life is spent on acquiring more and more things to be
managed – there actually can be more time available to simply be quiet. To present
ourselves to the Spirit and tune into what the Spirit says in that still, small voice that is
constantly speaking in our lives that are often too noisy to hear. The word from the
Lord to his people Israel is that strength for living is found in quietness and trust. The Hebrew
word translated quiet is the word for being still, as in “Be still and know that I am
God.” (Psalm 46) The Isaiah text says that the people refuse to be still and choose to
handle the crisis by running away on fast horses which causes their enemies to pursue
them on even faster horses. But the Lord’s invitation stands: be still. Find your strength
in connection to me. To make more space for the Spirit in our lives, stillness is needed.
Time where the pace of life can be slowed, and the noise of life can be stilled so that
the voice of the Spirit can be heard.
