The Sound Of Stillness

 

Saturday interjects a pause;

Friday laments suffering

Anguish and death,

Sunday proclaims wonder

Joy and life,

Saturday stands still, but He still speaks—

Even in the silence.

 

 

Saturday holds space for grief;

It doesn’t hasten us to “move on.”’

It gives us permission

To mourn,

To doubt,

To weep—

Even as we wrestle.

 

 

Saturday reminds us of the truth;

The God of the Sabbath

Directs our hearts

 To be still,

To know,

 To trust—

Even when we don’t see.

 

 

Saturday speaks of the waiting,

Between He was here

And He will come again.

It breathes quiet hope,

It steadies our gaze

As we look heavenward—

Even in the “not yet.”

 

 

Let the God who stayed silent,

Sit with you in your weeping,

Hold you in your wrestling,

Strengthen you in your waiting,

Enfold you in your wandering,

And speak to you in your wondering—

Even in the stillness of Saturday.
