Take a moment today to be still before the Lord. You may hear and feel his peace in all that beautiful quiet.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And when the weather outside is gray and rainy, I love to sit by the bay window in my bedroom and just sit there and watch and listen. I’ll sit in silence with the rain splattering against the glass. We all need time to do that, don’t we? A time for listening, for sitting still. Sometimes when I make myself be quiet, I can almost hear Jesus say to me, “How’s it going, Joni? How has your day been?” Or I can hear him say, “Did you see the way I encouraged you today with that letter from your friend back east?” I can almost hear his voice, “Remember, Joni, you can trust me.” I don’t think I would hear those encouragements from Christ were it not for me being still and quiet before him. Friend, I don’t know what the weather is like where you are, but take a moment to sit by a window and be still before the Lord. You just may hear and feel his peace in all that beautiful quiet.
