"Strength is in quietness. The lake must be calm if the heavens are to be reflected on its surface...Oh, for the lost art of meditation! Oh, for the culture of the secret place! Oh, for the tonic of waiting upon God!"
As I thumb through a book I am looking to purchase I came across this. The first devotion in a book dedicated to military wives whose husbands are deployed. The first day titled "The Gift of Solitude". :) In all things give thanks, right? I think I will be picking this one up...
Thought I would share, because the above can relate to anyone these days in the busy-ness of life, sometimes it is forgotten to be still and know that He is God.
Very very helpful. I think sometimes that people come across verses that are meaningful to them, and then they share them, and they become even more meaningful to those who hear them second hand :) It's also amazing how people in completely different situations can take comfort in the same things!
