Day 39 In the Quiet

It is true, we live in a world where we can always find something to distract us; set bucket lists that can be done to be used in our time. We are in constant state of doing something to show something. Outrageous days, fun-filled nights, awesome adventures are the things we can do to fill our days. But most of the times, we would sit or lie down, asking ourselves what to do. During these moments, we actually realize things and to-dos that matter. What's expected of me today. What should I be doing. If nothing is required, it is okay to stay silent. To even look at the ceiling. To be okay not to feel okay. To be asking God to lift us up. To let Him search us in our sincerest state.

One of those times I was in the hospital taking care of my brother who had acute pancreatitis, my sister who is a nurse told me that our body has the ability to heal itself. God has given these antibodies to help us recuperate. Sleeping and resting cause these to work in itself. We sometimes need not any medicine to help us get better, rather just rest.

It is okay to fall silent, to be just contented whether we do something audacious or just mere sitting, to be doing nothing, to rest even if we are not tired.

That's when we appreciate the things we're anticipating, the joy that's coming, the hope we're learning. Silence-and-rest is contentment-and-purification.Yes, God often comes in the quite and He thinks it is precious. (Peter 3:4 the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. )

We can be still, and know He is and will always be God.
