The Revelation of Quietness!

Psalmes 89: 46“How long, O LORD? Will You hide Yourself forever?”
There are certain temperaments that see general communication as a waste of time. Many just hate to play what they see as the people game. On the other extreme is the person that is uncomfortable with quietness, though it can reveal a lot about a person. Just be quiet and let a person keep talking, and soon you will learn many things. This is why I believe that God is often quiet; He waits to see what comes out of my heart when He is quiet. His quietness will not create something in my heart, but it will reveal something. Often I see believers experiencing the quietness of God and beginning to complain, moving into unbelief, and almost immediately looking for another option. These things have always been within them, but quietness revealed them. Sometimes when the Lord is quiet it is good to be quiet yourself and see what comes out of Him. You will be amazed.
