Responses from Our Souls
“The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge.”
--Psalm 46:11
How true it is! People of God from all the major religions believe that God, the Lord of hosts, is with them. How should we practice our faith these days? A response from the soul seems most appropriate.
• Soul language is not rhetoric.
• Soul language never makes the front pages of the newspapers.
• Soul language is simple stillness before God.
• Soul language is about transformation of our hearts.
• Soul language is all about taking refuge and allowing the spirit of God to work.
• Soul language is taking time to lament the selfishness, greed and
power that is part of the political process.
• Soul language is taking time to be thankful for a Creator who is still very much in love with the world.
Many things around us can seem chaotic today. Rather than listening to the chaos, let’s take the time to practice quietness in our souls today. Remember, “The Lord of hosts is with us, the God of Jacob is our refuge.”
