Eavesdropping
by PamFord Davis When writing, some topics come up frequently. Does that mean I have a one-track mind? Well, the 'mind' is a good starting point. I very often have thoughts that quickly turn verbal. In case you don't make the connection, that means I talk to myself. Yup, sure do. Do you? If undisturbed, I share words of frustration. My lack of patience is embarrassing. What I lack in patience, I possess in enthusiasm. I talk to myself; I do not whisper! Recently, I discovered truth in a a beautiful scripture passage The Psalmist was not talking to himself; he was speaking to his soul. "My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah (Psalm 62:5-8 NKJV)." The message to his soul is stupendous. Soul, this is what you need to do "My soul, wait silently for God alone (Verse 5a)." I'm eavesdropping. That is great advice.
