| Open the Scriptures Read Psalm 65:1. How does the translation, “To you, silence is praise, O God in Zion,” change the way you understand worship? In Psalm 65:2–4, what reasons does David give for why God is worthy of praise? Psalm 65 describes God as the one who establishes mountains, stills roaring seas, waters the earth, and brings forth abundance. What do these images teach us about God’s character? Open Your Lives When you think about practicing silence, what image comes to mind? Does it feel inviting, uncomfortable, boring, intimidating, or something else? Where do you most often experience “noise” in your life right now? Does it come from your phone, schedule, anxiety, entertainment, work, parenting, news, or something else? This week, what would it look like for you to take five minutes in silence, not to escape the world, but to pay attention to God’s creative life around you? |
