In this fast paced, connected world we seem to always be plugged into something. The iPod, the TV, the laptop, the phone. Technology follows us every where now. I don’t know about you but I have definitely noticed in my life that there are very few hours of the day when I am just silent, still before the Lord. I know I used to take a few minutes every day, usually after my quiet time, to just sit and be perfectly still and quiet. These days I have neglected to do so on a regular basis and I really miss it. And then I wonder, have we lost our ability for silence? In this crazy world where life never slows down. Is it possible to be perfectly still and just be, not thinking not talking, just listening to what He might want to say to you. As I walked to church this morning I thought about how my mind is constantly running, thoughts and thoughts just pouring through my mind a mile a minute. And I forget to stop and remember that it is His voice that matters above all the others. So today as I do housework and finish up some homework, I will purpose to be still. To come before the Lord’s presence and just allow Him to speak to me, with no distractions.
