Christian Reflection and Prayer

We long for fire from heaven to silence the skeptics once
and for all, but God doesn't usually work that way. Long
ago He revealed Himself as a helpless baby sleeping in
a dirty feed trough, and today He speaks quietly to
ordinary people like you and me — if only we are still
enough to listen. That is the sentiment expressed by
Emily May Grimes in the words of the hymn,
"Speak, Lord, in the Stillness."

Speak, Lord, in the stillness, while I wait on Thee;
hushed my heart to listen in expectancy.
Speak, O blessed Master, in this quiet hour, let me see
Thy face, Lord, feel Thy touch of power.
Emily May Grimes
