“In contemporary society our adversary majors in three things: noise, hurry, and crowds. If he can keep us engaged in ‘muchness’ and ‘manyness,’ he will rest satisfied.”
- Richard Foster
“And so we end up as good people, but as people who are not very deep: not bad, just busy; not immoral, just distracted; not lacking in soul, just preoccupied; not disdaining depth, just never doing the things to get us there.”
- Ronald Rolheiser.

God.
Psalm 139:13, 15-16
For it was you who created my inward parts;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb…
My bones were not hidden from you
when I was made in secret,
when I was formed in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw me when I was formless;
all my days were written in your book and planned
before a single one of them began.
Psalm 139:1-6
Lord, you have searched me and known me.
You know when I sit down and when I stand up;
you understand my thoughts from far away.
You observe my travels and my rest;
you are aware of all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue,
you know all about it, Lord.
You have encircled me;
you have placed your hand on me.
This wondrous knowledge is beyond me.
It is lofty; I am unable to reach it.
Psalm 139:17-18
God, how precious your thoughts are to me;
how vast their sum is!
If I counted them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand;
when I wake up, I am still with you.
// Knowing God requires quiet
, distraction-free
, and a passionate
to know His heart.
Jeremiah 29:12-13
“You will call to me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.”
//
stillness will break open your life with God.
