The Value of Beauty And Stillness

There is a time to speak, and a time to refrain from speaking.

"The heavens declare the glory of God" in a way that is far less tiresome than anything a human can manage with words. Though will we ever keep our peace? "Be still and know that I am God." He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.

Of the making of many books, there is no end (and it brings weariness). God's sanctuary of old was not filled with books but with images of heaven. There is value in being still, and in seeing the beauty of holiness.

Some may object to the idea of "meditation" because there are so many forms and it may be that not all are healthy, or there is room for confusion on what is healthy. But if we are still, and let the heavens declare the glory of God, we can find that God restores our soul.
