Silence is Golden

Sometimes silence is golden.  Today I woke up knowing I need to be quiet more and just listen - lean into Jesus and trust - and rest.  Oftentimes my words wear me out. 

Luke 1: 19-20

19 The angel said to him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.20 And now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day this happens, because you did not believe my words, which will come true at their appointed time.”

The scripture above is written about Zechariah the priest who was the father of John the Baptist.  Sometimes, as in this instance, I believe our words get in the way of simply believing and trusting that what God has said and is saying is Truth.

Facts exist and cause our eyes to get off of Jesus and onto our circumstances.  The good news is Truth and trusting that Truth overrides facts.  Facts change but Truth never changes.
