The Quiet Within

Scripture  

Psalm 46:10 (NRSV)  

Be still, and know that I am God!  

I am exalted among the nations,  

I am exalted in the earth.

Refrain  

In stillness, I remember who I am.

Poem  

Howard Thurman  

“There is in every person an inward sea,  

and in that sea there is an island,  

and on that island is an altar,  

and standing guard before that altar is the ‘angel with the flaming sword.’  

Nothing can get by that angel to be placed upon that altar  

unless it has the mark of your inner authority.  

Nothing passes ‘the angel with the flaming sword’  

to be placed upon your altar  

unless it be a part of ‘the fluid area of your consent.’”
