Revelation 8:1
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.
Silence half an hour.
An appropriate response to the Lord's presence is silence.
• When the heavens open, silence.
• When God manifested Himself, silence.
So much of what we see in the way of Christianity is loud and gaudy.
There are times when it is right to jump and leap and praise God. But it is also more than right to bow in utter stillness and silence.
Perhaps we have too much of the first and not enough of the second.
