My soul waits in silence for God only; From Him is my salvation. (Psalm 62:1 NASB)

I have been blessed by what a sister from the North Island has been sharing with me about waiting in silence before the Lord…

I have committed to live the rest of my life in this silence…

It is a silence of spirit, it is a silence of heart – an inner silence…

An inner quietness…

An inner rest…

The Lord gave me this scripture recently,

There will be silence before You, and praise in Zion, O God, And to You the vow will be performed. O You who hear prayer, To You all men come. (Psalm 65:1-2 NASB)

And yesterday He gave me this scripture,

Who, then, is the man that fears the Lord? He will instruct him in the way chosen for him. (Psalm 25:12 NIV)

Another scripture was brought back to mind this morning,

Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. (Proverbs 8:34 NIV)

I had a very encouraging conversation with a brother from the North Island last night…

We discussed what the sister from the North Island had shared and he felt a real witness for what she was sharing…

This morning as I started my day (so to speak) I waited quietly on the Lord…

He will establish this in me, in us – individually – first…

Then He will bring together those of us who He has established this in – first locally and then nationally…

As the sister saw…

I know that He will do this…

This is the place from which He can speak…

He will establish it in His time…

Love in the Lord,

Andrew
