Enter the Silence

Lamentations 3:28

When life is heavy and hard to take,

go off by yourself. Enter the silence.

The Message paraphrase of Lam 3.28. NASB: Let him sit alone and be silent

Since He has laid it on him.

There is something about entering the silence that is conducive to our spiritual health. This is hard to do in our age of instant connection and ever present social media. For us when life is heavy and hard to take we go post an update on Facebook.  I think entering the silence would be more helpful.
