Silence
What a tough topic to discuss for some of us. We live in a world that is screaming at us almost twenty-four seven. Many of us dread time alone, without television or radio playing in the back ground. It is hard enough to get the right information we need for our lives without having all those loud voices screaming at us daily, Voices saying, “Listen to me, I have instructions for your life!” Fortunately for me, I grew up as an only child and had learned to practice the art of being still and silent. When I regularly get alone and quiet, I can hear Gods instructions for my life. I have had many major mess ups in my life; And I can track every last one of them back to a period of time when I allowed myself to drift away from taking time out to be alone and silent. You see, when we get quiet, we can hear the gentle voice God speaks to us in. So today, I am encouraging us all to take time to be silent. God wants to speak to us about the issues in our lives. But He will not compete with all the other voices that yell and demand our attention, as if they have the solutions we long for. Remember this my friends, talking to God should be us listening more than we speak.
