Quiet before God

Ecclesiastes 5: 1 – 3   

Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather
than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.
Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.

The hurly burly of the world around us can be overwhelming, scary, and unpredictable. We can see the tumult in our own lives and wonder, “What is this all about?” We can question God. We can marvel at the chaos. We think, muse, sort out and try to answer.

But I find it does my soul great good just to remember the size of God. The awesomeness of God.

So today I’m just sitting in this thought. I don’t have answers. I don’t have predictions. I don’t have any opinions.

Today I sit silent. Nothing too offer. No words. Just wonder and awe.
