Silence Is Invisible

(W)ord     1st Samuel 10:27   But some scoundrels said, “How can this fellow save us?” They despised him and brought him no gifts, But Saul Kept Silent.”

(O)bservation      I remember Mom telling me that ‘Actions Speak Louder Than Words’. I also remember hearing that…”I can’t hear what you’re saying because of what I see you doing.” or something like that.

So I made up my own little saying…..       “Silence Is Invisible.”

It amazes me how many times my tongue gets me in trouble. Another saying I heard was… “Put your mind in gear, before putting your mouth in motion.” There have been very few times I have gotten in trouble for NOT opening my mouth.

When I think about why Saul kept silent, a word kept popping up in my mind. “POWER” There is ‘Power In Silence!

(R)esponse     It is amazing to me what I can hear when I am not talking. Just Observing what is going on around me. I hear some unbelievable things. Many times things people don’t think I hear. The’ Power Of Observation’ is a direct Cousin to the ‘Power Of Silence’. It is a practice I submit will astound you if you give it a try.

When I started doing this I found that there are a lot of people smarter than me. I thought I was smart, but how amazing, that when I shut up and started listening to many of my Divine Mentors, I began to realized how much I didn’t know and how much I could learn by just listening and observing.

(D)ialogue      Father and my best FRIEND, thank You for being there to listen to me. And forgive me for doing most of the talking when I should be listening. In Your name I pray. We will talk again soon. And this time I will take the time to listen. YOUR TURN
