Silence as the dictionary defines it, it is the complete absence of sound.

But in our daily life, we cannot experience the complete absence of sound. However, we can experience quietness, we can experience rest, we can experience silence when we decide to open our hearts, ears, and minds to the One who can speak everything we need.

Silence is a great practice. It is needed in order to experience the grandeur of God. Being silent, being still, to be able to know who He is, to be able to see what He can do. To have the privilege to experience His glory. Be still. No wonder why David was commanding His soul to wait on the Lord, wait in silence, wait quietly. Be silent and surrender to Him. Submit to Him.

Wait for Him, who is the author of Hope itself. Psalm 62

Be still, be silent, be quiet, wait, and hope in Him, in Him alone, your waiting cannot be in vain!

Sometimes, in this waiting season, all you need to do is to remain silent. 

When we discipline ourselves to stay silent, and remain silent, not only we will be able to hear His voice, but also His whispers.

You will grow in wisdom, divine wisdom, not the worldly and earthly one.

You will be slow to anger. You will be able to give more time in prayer. 

O people of God, be silent before Him!

It will help you to do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you.Philippians 2:14 therefore, you will avoid a multitude of sins.

You will be taught by Christ, to be content in all things. Allowing Him to set a guard on your lips, your words will be filtered. You will not grumble as some of them did, and then were destroyed by the angel of death. 1 Corinthians 10:10

It will allow you to rejoice always, and pray without ceasing.

More room will be given to the Holy Spirit in you to renew your mind. 

Take the decision to be silent, and sit at the feet of Jesus, to listen to His teachings, and have life infused in your innermost. True living powerful life to come upon you and refresh you when you are silent. Be still to receive. Be still to listen. Be still to be renewed. Be still to be healed and restored. Be still to know the One who loves you. 

Decide today to experience this silence and “Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.” Mark 6:31.

Despite the meaning of silence, the absence of words, and of any sound. But there is power in silence that communicates deep things beyond the words.

When you silent your soul, your whole being, you are able to de-clutter your thoughts, empty yourself from non-essential feelings, thoughts, decisions.  There is indeed power in silence.

Some important and powerful things are happening in silence

A catholic cardinal quotes: “Our blood flows through our veins without making any noise, and we can hear our heartbeats only in silence”

I was stunned to discover that Joseph, the carpenter, never spoke or initiated any words in any of the Gospels. He simply without speaking, without any noise, he submitted himself to the will of God,

This silence will certainly lead you to intimacy with Christ. This will accordingly lead to do the will of God in your life, following the example of Joseph.

Silence has a true supernatural power to open up a conversation with God.

There are moments when you are silent, you would be able to more meditate, contemplate the beauty of God, the beauty of Life He has given you. The abundant Life.

The reason why God asked us to get in our room, shut the door and be with Him. When we separate ourselves from the noise and wait on Him to speak, we will be able to listen if we are silent.

The scholar John Gill commented on this verse in Matthew 6:6 that God takes notice of your 'Secret breathing' - He observes you.

Even your silence doesn’t go unnoticeable in the presence of Our Lord! How great is this! How supreme He is!

Encourage yourself to live the spiritual silence. The best communication between two lovers is the one with no words. Love reigns, love is felt even without words. There is a mutual feeling that is being expressed in these moments of silence… Between you, and the lover of your soul, Jesus.

Enter into God’s silence, and have Him speak to you. He will speak to you in stillness.

Speak O Lord, for your servant is listening.
