In your anger do not sin;
when you are on your beds,
search your hearts and be silent.
Psalm 4:4
Reading this today led me to three thoughts:
1) Reacting and responding from anger does not bring about the righteous life I seek to live.
2) Searching the heart is not a morbid introspection...it is examining my alignment with Christ's will.
3) Silence leads to listening, which in turn allows God's voice to be heard more clearly.

Silence is a space, yes. For listening. For being...
ReplyDelete"search your hearts and be silent" WOW! That's a good word for a family-strained holiday season coming up. :)
