Be Still - And Listen to Our Lord!

Today's reading is a wonderful reminder that to truly experience God's eternal Love, we have to first be still in His Presence - and get to know Him. In various Bible classes that I have been in, this subject has repeatedly come up in that it seems to be the most difficult spiritual discipline. What a blessing to know that "The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord" as we read in today's scripture from Jeremiah 31:3.

I have referred before to the hymn, "Be Still My Soul," but once again I am enjoying it today. Invariably, this time of silence and solitude brings about blessings; however, I need to remember to take the time to accept the fact that God - "Faithful will remain." Do you have another hymn or scripture passage that helps put you into communication (including listening) with our Lord and listen for His Word for your life?
