The Glory of Quiet

When everything comes to a screaming halt and activity ceases, there is a quiet which can be very loud at first, but then settles into a calming stillness. This is a place where one can hear God! The scriptures define it as "waters of rest" (Psalm 23:2); a place of restoration and renewal (vs 3). Other descriptive words come to mind, i.e. His Pavilion, or the Secret Place (Psalm 27:5). Those who inhabit this place are "radiant" (Psalm 34:5). No worry lines or droopy hearts here - GOD is in the midst. And thus there is the "glory of quiet" as one sits in the Presence of the Lord of Hosts and finds rest, restoration, renewal, strength, instruction, comfort and love. One should pass into these places often as we walk through this world for there is nothing in the world which resembles REST! God alone is rest. Here we are abundantly satisfied and drink from the fountain of life itself. What can compare to this?
