Fellowship with Him Words cannot express what this is like, though we share our various experiences. He shares His secret plans with those He trusts. We can be confident that our fellowship with Him is worth whatever the cost.

Rest Even in the midst of strife, His peace engulfs, protects, preserves and restores us. The assurance of His Personal Pre-sence strengthens, upholds and shelters us, regardless of the circumstances.

Preparation The Lord rewards our dependence, our willingness to let Him be God, by preparing us for what’s next. We know that whatever it is, we’ll be ready, and can look forward not only to each new day but to what’s to come in the next age.

Conclusion: What Does Knowing God by Cultivating Quietness Look Like?

Confidence The Christian learning to depend on God is confident of His relationship. When you know where to go to get the answers, strength or healing you need, you are willing to take risks and make mistakes. When you know God, you also know the Truth, the Way and the Life.

Guidance and Instruction The Christian learning to depend on God is consciously and unconsciously led by God. He provides whatever is necessary for each situation, drawing us by creating an ever greater need for guidance and instruction.

God’s Purposes Are Fulfilled When we are dependent on Him, and let Him do what He wants through us, we know that whatever needs to get done will get done. His plans are endlessly creative, and His strategies are full of mystery, intrigue and adventure.

Satisfaction We end each day as it is begun, focused on His love for us and His wonderful plans for our time here on earth.
