Morning begins with quietness
Behind locked doors, many hiding
Disciples and others mourning
Feeling God no longer guiding
Overcome with grief and sorrow
Memories fill with harshest tone
Quietness gathers in God’s hands
Barren cross stands bloody, alone
His torturous execution
Rabbi, teacher forever gone
Faith shattered, only quietness
Living as ignored Roman pawns
Confused, lacking understanding
What will tomorrow ever bring?
God waits with patient quietness
Sadness fills His heart, death its sting
From this darkness, quietness breathes
Hidden events still playing out
Love’s greatest story, not finished
God triumphs, never any doubt
While it seems God’s Word is quiet on this day, He is orchestrating events to come. While the world feels alone and forsaken, God is never quiet. Tomorrow will shine light on His everlasting love and triumph.

Amen Lisa! I was trying to bring out the atmosphere on that day before the Resurrection. Scripture tells little about this day filled with quietness.

My devotion this morning was about silence. Your words are a beautiful description of the quiet before the storm of truth leaves a tomb empty and hearts filled with faith and praise! Praise God!
