A Good Encouragement to Be Still Before the Lord

"Creative Silence" contains about 140 pages and 12 chapters that encourage the reader to seek a deeper relationship with God through quiet contemplation instead of busy activity. Indeed, the author states that God is much easier found when we humble ourselves in silence before Him instead of a frenzy of activity and hurried prayer. The struggle is with our flesh - we want to always be doing something instead of slowing down and taking time to listen to God. My favorite chapter was the one entitled "A Slow and Certain Light" where the author lists the barriers we either encounter or have to deal with that keep us from hearing God. The last chapter, "Out of the Darkness", lists such Bible verses as: Psalm 46:10, John 15:16, Matthew 14:27, Isaiah 41:18, and Romans 6:4 and elaborates on how those verses can aid us in hearing God's voice. A good book to read to encourage you to slow down and spend time with the God who dearly loves us through His Son Jesus Christ. Recommended.
