Quiet in our Spirit

September 17, 2011 by memullin

I don’t know about you, but I have plenty to say most of the time.  When I think that quiet will forever escape me, I am reminded that God calls me to be quiet in my spirit.

In 1Peter 3:1-4, we are exhorted as wives to “be submissive to [our] own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe [our] chaste conduct accompanied by fear. “

He goes on to say, “Do not let your adornment be merely outward–arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel– rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.”

So I learn that God likes me to be quiet in my spirit, to work on my inner beauty and to seek to have beauty that doesn’t call attention to itself.

    Your timing is quiet Mary. I so need to stop what I’m doing and be quiet so I can listen to the Lord. And how to better serve by husband in prayer. Wont know how to pray if I’m not paying attention to the Lord.
    Thanks for you word of Truth.
