"Just
as dew never falls on a stormy night,
the
dew of His presence and grace
never
covers a restless soul."
A.B.
Simpson
Truth
is so expansive.
Although
we know truth at certain levels,
we
constantly find we need to know it more.
Rest
is one of those truths.
I
keep needing to know it more deeply.
The
rest in God is the Selah in the midst of life.
The
Selah, the pause, is sometimes
more
powerful than life itself.
It
is the center of the fastest moving
wheel where
there is no movement at all.
If
I can't quiet myself to hear His voice,
if
I don't gain any new revelation--
then
I have nothing new to make a demand upon.
I
have nothing which goes beyond
my
ability and strength.
But
new revelation brings
greater responsibility
of stewardship and
greater understanding
of our own weakness.
It
requires that Christ be formed in us anew.
It
requires us to “be still that we might
know
He is God."
His
voice of wisdom, comfort, and
tenderness gives
strength to our soul.
He
wants to give us something which
goes beyond
our own ability.
Oh
that I would become stiller even now
that
I might hear.
Selah.
"The
dew of His presence and grace
covers
a soul that has found its rest in Him."
