Words ... silent before the Lord

Words
unnecessary words

remain unsaid, unwritten

We are silent
quiet and waiting
listening fervently

For God’s word
to come to us
in the morning hours
as we awake
throughout the day
and at nightfall
when we return to slumber
We are silent
not because of fear
or desolate thought
but of love and respect
for Him
who is and was and will be
The Lord God
shows us the way.
In silence
we can connect
with Him
He will explain His truths
We learn
We understand
He will guide us
The whole day
becomes a blessing.
We are silent
before the Lord
waiting, listening
fine tuning our ears, our hearts
our whole being
for words of wisdom
He alone can give.
We are silent
before Him
and His word
found in His holy book
provides insight
clarification
promises
and oh so much more
We are silent
The silence calms us
frees us
The right word
at the right time
will come
and it will be enough.
