I am a growing fan of A.W. Tozer. This came in my email this morning. What great advice! Take time to be quiet before God today. It is the sabbath, the day he made for us. Today is a gift from God; He has given it to us as a time of rest, reflection and renewal. It was the day God Himself set aside to fellowship with us. Listen to Him."Holy men of soberer and quieter times than ours knew well the power of silence. David said, "I was dumb with silence. I held my peace, even from good; and my sorrow was stirred. My heart was hot within me; while I was musing the fire burned; then spake I with my tongue." There is a tip here for God's modern prophets. The heart seldom gets hot while the mouth is open. A closed mouth before God and silent heart are indispensable for the reception of certain kinds of truth. No man is qualified to speak who has not first listened." A.W. Tozer, The Set of the Sail, pp.14-15.
