“He giveth quietness.” (Job 34:29)

The quietness Lord brings is truly unique. It’s not just the absence of ambient noise; it’s not presented as beautiful background music. Rather, it’s the quietness after the winds and the waves cease, after huge troubles are resolved, or after the times when everything seems hopeless. It’s the quietness of peacefulness, it’s the quietness of hope, and it’s the quietness of God’s grace. This type of quietness can hardly be felt when joy is abundant, when excitement is everywhere, and visions are unlimited, and instead, it’s often felt when we feel like dead, and yet re-live again.

God provides us this kind of quietness from time to time; He would take away everything He gave us that would keep us away from this amazing gift. He wants us to be isolated from all secular matters and truly experience this sense of satiety – heart saturated with His glory, His almighty – in the time and space of quietness He created.
