Sabbath Keeping

by Sandra Bennett
Sabbath Keeping· TCF

8 Feb

“Be still, and know that I am God!
I will be honored by every nation.
I will be honored throughout the world.”
~ Psalm 46:10 ~
“The word LISTEN contains the 
same letters as the word SILENT.”
~ Alfred Brendel ~ 

“The sound of gentle stillness after all the thunder and wind have passed will be the ultimate word from God.” ~ Jim Elliot ~

“Everything takes time.
Bees have to move very fast in order to stand still.”
~ David Foster Wallace ~
“When you change the way you look at things, 
the things you look at change.”
~ Wayne Dyer ~ 

“Whenever there is stillness there is the still small voice, God’s speaking from the whirlwind, nature’s old song and dance…”
~ Annie Dillard ~

“When you are in doubt, be still, and wait; when doubt no longer exists for you, then go forward with courage. So long as mists envelop you, be still; be still until the sunlight pours through and dispels the mists — as it surely will. Then act with courage.”
~ Ponca Chief White Eagle ~

“Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen – that stillness becomes a radiance.” ~ Morgan Freeman ~

“Once I knew only darkness and stillness… my life was without past or future… but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.” ~ Helen Keller ~

“And He awoke and rebuked the wind
and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still! 
And the wind ceased and there was great calm.”
~ Mark 4:39 ~ 
Prayer Keeping ~ those in the path of the next storm ~ Hancock family who lost a matriarch ~ a blind gentleman whose home was burned to the ground ~ a young woman who was able to move from a tent to a trailer but the dwelling has problems ~

    Dear me, the Methodist church sign must cause all who pass something to ponder, it did me. I do love all the references in the Bible about being quiet. I have them written down in a notebook somewhere, not many but more than I thought.

    Dear Sandra ~ This is about the 3rd or 4th piece I've read on 'being still' in the past few weeks. I think God is trying to tell me something.

    Thank you for these great quotes.

    May God's blessings be on those of your prayer list.

    Love, hugs and prayers ~ FlowerLady

    Lovely quotes about being still and listening. Interesting about silent and listen having the same letters!
