After years of knowing God, I’m still amazed at how He meets me during my quiet time. Sometimes it may be major, and sometimes it’s just very simple. For instance, we’re in Florida right now, woo hoo!! (I'm sure Denny will have more on Florida on his blog) Anyway, as we traveled to Florida, I found myself being very quiet, very reflective. As we spent the first day outside by the water, I still found myself being very quiet and reflective. As I walked by the ocean, I remember just thinking, “Lord, You’re amazing”. The fact that you created this…amazing. (I think that every time I walk by the ocean).
While the family was getting ready to go to dinner, I sat out on the balcony, and opened up the Word of God. I was just thinking about how quiet I’d been when I opened my Bible to Psalm 65, and that’s where God met me as I read this Psalm of David which says, “Silence is praise to you Zion dwelling God. And also obedience. You hear the prayer in it all. We all arrive at your doorstep sooner or later, loaded with guilt, Our sins too much for us. But you get rid of them once and for all. Blessed are the chosen! Blessed the guest at home in your place! We expect our fill of good things in your house, your heavenly manse. All your salvation wonders are on display in your trophy room. Earth-Tamer, Ocean-Pourer, Mountain-Maker, Hill-Dresser, Muzzler of sea storm and wave crash of mobs in noisy riot…far and wide they’ll come to a stop, they’ll stare in awe, in wonder. Dawn and dusk take turns calling, “Come and worship.”
Father, dawn and dusk do indeed take turns calling “come and worship”…in my silence, I worship you, as I reflect, I reflect upon you, as I gaze at your creation, I stand amazed by you.

Sometimes words can't say enough. Only the quietness can...where Word and Wonder meet. Thanks for sharing.
