Have you ever longed for stillness?

I mean real quietness?

Go far out into the country,

and in the middle of the night,


listen...Listen to quietness?

Yes. After all the noises of the city or town traffic,

industry, sirens, dogs barking,

church bells ringing, you get the point

stillness can be deafening.




Everywhere there is noise.

Electricity makes noise.

Listen during the stillness of the night in your own home,

and you will hear noise.

But out in the country,

in the middle of the night

when even the birds are asleep,

you can hear the stillness.



It is loud.

It hurts your ears.

Listen for a while

if you ever get the chance

and you will almost wish

for some kind of noise.


We expect noise.

It is what we are used to hearing...


But in our spiritual life we want quietness.

But there is always some sort of disquietude.

There are conflicting voices in our ears telling us different things.

We cry out to God, wanting to hear His voice,


but other noises keep squeezing their way in...


We don't have to be out in the country

in the middle of the night

when even the birds are sleeping,

to hear the voice of God.

He speaks amidst the noise, the confusion of life.

We just have to listen...

for a STILL, SMALL VOICE.
