Sanctified Silence

Read:  Psalm 1 / Proverbs 30 / Deuteronomy 14 / Rev. 8

 

Psalm 1:1,2 ~ Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Proverbs 30:5,32 ~ Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him... If thou... lifting up thyself... hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.

Deuteronomy 14:2 ~ Thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God... a peculiar people... above all the nations.  

Revelation 8:1,4 ~ There was silence in heaven... the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand.

 

Let every thought be sanctified

By meditation on God's Word

To still the scornful voice of pride   

And silence lies that we have heard.  

 

We are a people set apart;

Our deepest thoughts to God are known.

Let heaven's silence stir our heart

To lift our prayers up to His throne.
