Stillness is an essential part of our growing deeper as we grow older. We will not become men of God without the
pressence of solitude. Talk about pollution - there are 3 factors that disturb our peace daily:
Noise - music, news, talk, phones, traffic
Speed - deadlines, appointments
Activities - meetings, services, luncheons, clubs
Be aware, if you and I really treasure quietness, we will have to make time for it. When you feed it only the
"left overs" from the schedule, it always goes hungry. We need to slow down and quiet down and carve out time for
quietness, solitude, prayer, meditation and soul searching. As prophet Isaiah said: "and the work of the righteous
will be peace, and the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever. Then my people will live in
peaceful habitation. And in secured dwellings and in undisturbed resting places.
