Silence

"Silence"

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. -Mother Teresa

"In the morning, long before sunrise, Jesus went to a place where he could be alone to pray." (Mark 1:35)

Jesus Christ knew the priority and importance prayer should have in our lives. We live in such a "blow and go" society that if not careful we will miss those "quiet times" we so desperately need. Even in ministry we try to justify being "too busy" but we must remember our first ministry is upward to Christ before it is outward to people.

Find some silence today. Be blessed!
