The Hour of Our Destiny
Author: Martha Kilpatrick

In one hour of a normal sunny day our nation was catapulted into war,
and the world with us. That one hour has brought us to our destiny. Each of us live and are alive for this hour. So we, the ordinary, the young, the too old, we ALL are in a war that has knocked down our front door, right up the street from us. By this sudden emergency, we face an uncertain future. The security of yesterday was blown away by the 'today' frozen in time called "September 11th." Our future as a nation lies in the hands of believers in the Only Son of God, Jesus Christ, and our personal lives hang suspended in that balance.

Let All Be Silent

Author: Martha Kilpatrick 19 December 2007

My soul would run in hysteria and
cackle words at God in the face of this event!
"I know what to ask, of course
I know how to pray . . . don't I?
I must tell God what to do! No time to wait."

Yet . . .
when my spirit touches that other sphere,
that heaven-realm,
for an audience with God in Christ,
about this terrible hour, I meet . . . His silent tranquility.

And . . .
I really have nothing to say.
I do not know how to live and serve.
No idea what to think or ask or be.
I have not heard His heart . . . not yet.

Only God's words reverberate and move history.
His idea alone riding over chaos, can calm it, solve it.

God enthroned above the nations and their madness,
dwells in Ageless Peace and
He waits to speak until
I am silent . . . .
His voice will not compete with human frenzy.

I do not need the insight of human logic or
opinions of the soul, chained to this world.
I need God's Voice.

The endless discussion of experts gives me no answer.
I need God's Voice.

I shed my presumptuous reason
and sit in His presence to settle for
nothing less than His Great Vision.
I need God's Voice.

And! I can hear it. Amazing! He speaks to His children.
To you - to me.

To hear means I must shut myself up.
To listen means I have to invoke silence on my inner world,
and push my troubled heart into the soothing presence of
my Abba's Timeless Calm.

"But the Lord is in His holy temple.
Let all the earth be silent before Him."
(Literal: Hush before Him, all the earth.)
Hab. 2:20 NAS

" . . . listen to Me in silence,
And let the peoples gain new strength . . . ."
Isa. 41:1 NAS

"Be silent (hush), all flesh, before the Lord; for He is aroused
from His holy habitation."
Zech. 2:13 NAS

Stillness is the sweet atmosphere of the Only Throne.
His Voice, a hallowed sound of
the Original and the Unimagined.
His Presence, an inhaling of bliss,
the fountain of saturating peace.

     The greater the crisis, the deeper the thirst for
     a hush in the soul . . .
     to wait unendingly for the breathtaking reflections of the Most High God.
