BE STILL AND GET PERSPECTIVE

Cormorant on Lake

     We have to withdraw from time to time to be silent and still – to get perspective, to look beyond this world and to search for the origin and purpose of all. . . .  

     Be silent and still, look and listen, then, as St Paul wrote to the Romans, from things visible we come to the knowledge of the one who is beyond the experiences of our senses. 

     “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities – his eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse” (Romans 1:20). That is a profound truth – that ever since the creation of this world God’s everlasting power and deity, however invisible, have been there for the mind to see in the things he has made.
