In Quietness is Your Strength – Lectio Divina

December 5, 2010 By Jean Wise

        In quietness and trust is your strength Isaiah 30:15b



In quietness

Lord, I live in a noisy world. Far from the quiet where Your strength lies.
I know when I withdrawn – as Jesus modeled for us – to spend time with You,
    to rest in You,
       to hear your whisper –
            I am refreshed, renewed, and stronger.
The clamor of my world blares and distracts me from You.
My ego chatters incessantly filling me with self doubt and despair.
Lord, help me leave this racket behind and follow you into quietness.
The hush of your presence creates a safe room abundant with peace and love.
With no words ever spoken, You still my heart.
Nestling under your plush down duvet of love and I snuggle into your arms for much needed rest.
In quietness of spending time with You, I trust and gain strength. Thank you, gentle and tranquil Lord.

    Jeanie! I love that image of a “plush down duvet of love.” This busy season that’s what I need.
