CQOD: 01/16/07 -- Fénelon: silence

Christian Quotation of the Day

January 16, 2007Meditation:
    Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.
    -- Zechariah 2:13 (ESV)

---

Quotation:
    Silence promotes the presence of God, prevents many harsh and proud words, and suppresses many dangers in the way of ridiculing or harshly judging our neighbors... If you are faithful in keeping silence when it is not necessary to speak, God will preserve you from evil when it is right for you to talk.
    ... François Fénelon (1651-1715)

---

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, grant me the gift of silence, that I may listen for Your voice.
