The Quiet God
Like [Elijah], we need to be silent in order to be attuned to the quiet God. We often make a lot of noise, speak a lot of words—even to God and about God. If we would stop shouting or even talking sometime, we might hear a gentle sound of love, or simply realize that we are together with God, embraced by the divine Presence. If we are going to be aware of God, touched by God, hear God's Word, we need to be silent sometimes. We need to develop a place of solitude in our hearts.
