In Psalm 23 v 2 ,we read ,,'He leads me beside the still waters',some translations have,' quite waters',I read somewhere that sheep do not like running water. Possible the sound frightens them off,the still waters are quite and peaceful .There is so much noise in this world,so many things pressing in upon us,were is the still quiet waters that we can go to? ,My son has written a book called,'Be still ',a simple guide to quite times.I wonder do you have a quite time?,it is surprising that many don't and rarely read their bible.In Mark 6 v31-32,we read how the disciples were very busy, and they didn't even have time to eat,and here is what our Lord said,'Come with me by yourselves to a quite place and get some rest,' So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place, How do we feel about those words?,are we willing to apply them to our own lives? are we willing to put them into action?,and if not why?. What are the reasons for not doing it?, I'll leave you to answer that,let me say earnestly we need to do it,oh yes there will be a cost,but remember if we don't do it there will be a cost.to our spiritual wellbeing.
'There is a place of quite rest,
Near to the heart of God;
A place where sin cannot molest,
Near to the heart of God'.
