Shadow of the Almighty by Elizabeth Elliot, p.75
Jim Elliot: “Been much in the psalms lately at noontime—incidentally, I would exhort you each to begin taking a few moments out with your Lover at midday, according to the pattern of the woman of the Song, ‘Tell me, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon; for why should I be as one veiled beside the flocks of thy companions?’ Often at noon there is a tendency for the soul to be ‘veiled’, clouded with world-lore, filmed over with temporalities. Just a few moments spent before the Shepherd, listening to the silence of His love and telling Him the state of your soul even if it’s not warm toward Him, just to keep short accounts by simple confession—this has been a great blessing to me.”
