Silence is often the most eloquent answer to our critics.
Coming before God in quietness & waiting upon Him in silence often can accomplish more than days of feverish activity.
Only after all the noise has spent itself do we begin to hear in the silence of our heart, the still, small, mighty voice of God.
Lord, how great is our dilemma! In Thy Presence silence best becomes us, yet love inflames our hearts and constrains us to speak.
Our religious activities should be ordered in such a way as to have plenty of time for the cultivation of the fruits of solitude and silence.
To expose our hearts to truth and consistently refuse or neglect to obey the impulses it arouses is to stymie the motions of life within us and, if persisted in, to grieve the Holy Spirit into silence.
