Silence and solitude can free us from the tyranny we can hold over others with our words. When we are silent and yield to the advice in James, it becomes more difficult for a pastor to manipulate and control the people and circumstances around us.
In a world that constantly bombards us with stimulation, the disciplines of solitude and silence have never been more important.
Solitude is uncomfortable and takes practice. That's OK. It's worth it to cultivate intimacy with God.
