No, I’m not talking about keeping secrets, or about not speaking up when you see something that needs reporting. Instead, let’s explore Quiet, or silence, as a spiritual practice. Luke 5:16 tells us that Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. He regularly took time on his own in quiet places; away from people. When we talk about silence and solitude, that’s what we mean – time on your own, time in quiet before God.
