Happy Wednesday friends, followers, visitors and viewers. We are into the first full week of April 2022. How are things going for you? Are you able to venture out to places that you yearned for two years ago? Are you planning trips abroad or staying within the USA borders? How is your health being that we were practically cooped up for a period of time, wearing mask, and staying a distance away from family and friends?
I reflect on two years ago. We or I basically became still...silent and listening. Psalm 4:4, "Be angry, and do not sin. Meditate within your heart on your bed and be still." While we appreciate the convenience of technology, it does come with a cost: the huge temptation to feel a greater sense of urgency throughout the day. We have to check our email, reply to that message, listen to this voicemail, or return the phone call. Those of us who text, tweet, and post items to Facebook, Instagram, or other social media sites rarely disconnect. We are continually overwhelmed with demands for our attention. Periods of silence, where we can cultivate inner stillness and wait for the promptings of the Holy Spirit, are increasingly rare. Yet, as Habakkuk realized, it is in those moments of quiet reflection that we can hear God's voice. Find a quiet place where you can disconnect from the world and fellowship with the Father. When you are still your thoughts, what does He say to you?
Enjoy the shares:
