Then Moses and the Levitical priests said to all Israel, “Keep silence and hear, O Israel: this day you have become the people of the Lord your God. 10 You shall therefore obey the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his commandments and his statutes, which I command you today.” (Deuteronomy 27)
Many of us have a big problem with silence, because we are left with ourselves. We leave radios and TVs on even when people call or visit. We do not sit down for meals. We do not pause to talk with the God we cannot see, lest He tell us something life-changing. But God values silence, just as He did on that first Sabbath after He created us. Silence is golden. It is when we are silent before Him that we can realize the most crucial truths: We are His people. It is He that has made us, and not we ourselves. We owe Him our obedience. Today, in all the business you have planned for yourself, make sure you mix in a little silence, so you can hear His voice, and respond to you with loving obedience.
