"WHAT THEN REMAINS TO THE MAN FORMED IN GOD'S IMAGE? THERE REMAINS TO HIM A SOUL FULL OF GOD AND A BODY FULL OF SUFFERING" - John Tauler
People don't always know what to do with Paul's words to women. One place in Corinthians the women are giving prophecies and another place they are told to shut up and sit down (1 Corinthians 11, 14). But maybe these words should not just be applied just to women. Maybe God is telling all of us to shut up and sit down, even men! Maybe in the fast-paced busyness of life, God says to us like parents would to their children, "stop running," "slow down," "be still," and "stay where you are!" Can we pause, look, and listen? Isn't God speaking to us in every waking moment of our life and even in our moments of rest and sleep? What appointments or work is more important than our time with God?
