Quiet for some is awkward and uncomfortable. Maybe because we have time to think clearly and all the busy noise is not blocking out the reality of what is really going on.
Just today I enjoyed a nice visit from some of my dearest friends. They were talking about how the natural urge is to overlook as much as possible. The longer you ignore a problem the less it seems like a problem. When you face your fears and the things that you might be dreading, it becomes even more evident just how necessary living out the truth really is. Life is never richer than when we do not run from pain and hurt, but run to Jesus when things are uncertain and most irritating and uncomfortable.
The tears will soon turn to joy in the presence of our Faithful Friend and Saviour. In the quiet is our opportunity to pour our hearts out to God and to listen for His voice. It is good to be quiet sometimes.
