We drive around in our cars with the radios on blast. We walk through the grocery store talking on our wireless headsets. We enter our homes and flick on the tv after dropping our coats. We work with our Pandora stations pumping through our computer speakers.
If we actually sit down for a moment in silence, our minds race a mile a minute or we drift off to sleep.
Yet, it is in the stillness and the quiet that we can hear God’s voice. It is those moments where we shut off all the noise of the world and focus in on Him that we can hear God’s words of life for us.
Often, I’ve even had to turn off my worship and meditation music just so I could quiet my mind down even further to hear what God was saying.
God’s speaking all the time. We just have to take the initiative to tune our ears to His station and listen to what’s being broadcasted over the spiritual airwaves.
When is the last time you sat in stillness before the Lord, and heard God speak? Can you remember the last time you were silent or still?
We cannot let all of the gadgets, media, and other distractions surreptitiously steal away all of our time.
Make a choice to turn off the radio on your ride home from work and instead listen to heaven. Cook dinner tonight conversing with God instead of your girlfriend. When you roll over to sleep, cut the tv off and fall asleep to the still small voice of the Spirit.
There is so much that God has to reveal to His people. We just have to silence the noise so we can zero in on His revelations.
Verse of the Day: This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: “Only in returning to me and resting in me will you be saved. In quietness and confidence is your strength. But you would have none of it. Isaiah 30:15 (NLT)
