Lines from Lynn
I am taking some items to Tawakoni on Monday and going on
to Great Bend to help lead one of the new Bethany groups. As you
know I enjoy the collegiality of these groups as well as the
opportunity for silence and spiritual reflection. Some people have a
hard time imagining 24 hours of silence- especially pastors being
involved. And I will admit that some people have a harder time with
it than others. There certainly is something about “forcing oneself" to
be reflective rather than always “speaking one’s mind”. I personally
enjoy these times as I find that they strengthen my connection to
God.
I think there is a reason God gave people one mouth and two
ears- perhaps because we should listen twice as much as we talk. We
can count many instances from Scripture which encourage (or
command) people to listen to God. Sometimes silence is required.
Other times we are instructed to “tell the good news”, shout, sing,
make known abroad, declare the works of God.
My problem is- when to be quiet and when to speak up? I
suspect you might have the same problem. We all can recount a time
when we should have spoken up, declared the love of God or defended
the truth or a fellow believer- yet we remained silent. Or, just as
unfortunately, we let something come forth from our mouths that we
immediately recognized as wrong or hurtful and couldn’t retract.
James has it right- our mouths are dangerous things which can build
up or tear down. If we can control them we are doing well.
Intentional times of silence help us learn control of our tongues.
I highly recommend it.
See you in worship Sunday- when I am sure I will have something to
say! Pastor Lynn
