Here are Tozer’s words from “THE SET THE SAIL”:

 

 

 

“There is a school where the soul must go to learn its best eternal lessons. It is the school of silence. “Be still and know,” said the psalmist, and there is a profoundphilosophy there, of universal application.  

 

 

3 My heart was hot within me,

While I was musing the fire burned;

Then I spoke with my tongue:

(Psalms 39:3)

 

 

 

There is a tip here for God’s modern prophets. The heart seldom gets hot while the mouth is open. A closed mouth before God and a silent heart are indispensable for the reception of certain kinds of truth.

 

No man is qualified to speak who has not first listened.

 

 

 

Listen in the silence for the deep voice of the Eternal God. The experience, if repeated often enough, would do more to cure our ulcers than all the pills that ever rolled across a desk.”

 

 

 

My concluding thought:  

WHICH ONE IS IT FOR YOU:  “DOWNLOAD & LISTEN” OR “BE STILL & KNOW”?

Where are the men today that will hear what God says.

Today’s mantra is “download and listen” instead of  “be still and know”.

It is in being still that we can know God’s voice and God’s heart to us, His church and to this generation.
