Silence is Golden, and More

Many people heard it said that *silence is golden.* More and more, as I have gotten older, I can appreciate that saying. In a noise-polluted culture, there is high value in silence. We need time to clear our minds, to take a breather, to refresh. Isn't it nice, therefore, to listen to the peace, quiet, and serenity of silence.

Such a thing might be challenging (more and more) in an increasingly urban world where people are overly plugged in to a never-ending stream of music, videos, advertisements, and pundits looking to express their urgent voice. Gratefully, this morning, in the early quiet of my home, after some time in prayer, I read something that took silence to the next--and perhaps ultimate--level.

> "But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him."
> (Habakkuk 2:20)

That passage really moved me. Immediately, I was compelled to create an illustration of what I felt and imagined after reading such a profound statement. I thank God for times of silence.
