My soul, wait thou only upon God
Ps. 62:5
Did it ever occur to you that if you do not hear God’s answer to prayer, it may be not because He is dumb, but because you are deaf; not because He has no answer to give, but because you have not been listening for it? We are so busy with our service, so busy with our work, and sometimes so busy with our praying, that it does not occur to us to stop our own talking and listen if God has some answer to give us with “the still small voice”; to be passive, to be quiet, to do nothing, say nothing, in some true sense think nothing; simply to be receptive and waiting for the voice. “Wait thou only upon God,” says the Psalmist; and again, “Wait on the Lord.”

1 Kings 19:9-14
There are times when being busy is a hinderance. Being still and listening is where the answers are.
May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.
Remember to "Always Love The Details."
I love this! Not because HE is dumb, but because YOU are deaf. Excellent lesson and reminder.
