Richard,
Your Words are an angelic blessing within poetry. I can honestly say as I was reading "Be Still and Hear My Voice" I feel like no matter all the grief & traumatic events that have wounded & weighted down my heart, or the perils of life encounters that I somehow feel embraced because I still remained within the boundaries I was ment to be. I am carrying out my life as it was intended for me to experience, and that includes all the hard times & sorrow. And even after all that I have not crossed paths with destruction. I never carried hate, or revenge, or bitterness towards others who caused me harm-I still remained a loving heart-stuff like that. It's a feeling of still being loved when there was no-one to truely love me here on earth. Now that is a very nice feeling. This Is A Lovely Poem of Purity & Depth.
Much Love To You Always

So loud and blaring that we can't hear our own heartbeats. But when there peace we can hear our own music and God singing in us. Without a doubt in the world it is the greatest music we will ever hear in our life. But like you so humbly described we have to stop and listen. Again, I am blessed by your words and continue to follow God's voice in you because his light shines through your words. |

Be Still and Hear My Voice is an expression of faith in ones Creator written with great beauty of language. It's message gives one the promise of living eternally in Heaven after fulfilling his/her purpose in life.
Enlightening, Compelling and Insightful are all words to describe this wonderfully written devotion in poetry. Richard Lee Orey is an author who is in touch with The Author and Finisher of his faith. It is my hope to see this type of poetry organized into one book of devotions for people to have as a nutrient that adds strength to their level of faith.

When we hear the voice of God, we would do well to heed His words, for it is He who has written our book of life and He who directs our performance. The repeated lines makes this much like an ancient chant that called all to worship Him. This is, simply put, an excellent poem Richard. The cadence is like a drum that draws the reader deeper and deeper into the inspiration of the verse.

'Be still and know that I am God' is an injunction that many of us in our flawed humanness struggle to surrender to.
Yet Paul tells us that our labour in the Lord is not in vain for indeed we have a resurrection body to look forward to.
Until then we labour in our faith intellectually, emotionally, physically and of course spiritually.
Be still and hear My voice is a timely exhortation.
