Into the Stillness – Ray Mackey, St. John’s, NL. 2019
‘He said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain before the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.’ Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.
~1 Kings 19:11-13
Silence. We often get scared by silence in the world. Even in worship, the times of quiet can be disconcerting to some. But, when it is quiet, we can find solace, and even hear when God speaks to us. These are moments we should strive to find amidst the busyness of life.
