Life gets pretty loud. Alarm clocks ring...kids cry... bosses yell... and our pasts scream at us from thoughts we wish we could forget. Things get hectic... and if we’re not careful, we’ll let the noise win... We are often told how much God wants to say to us... so why is it so hard to hear His voice in the midst of life?
Because God wants us to find a quiet place and just listen. He says in Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God;”
How much of your day is spent just being still? Peaceful? Quiet? If you’re like many..not much...and the elephant of distraction wins out. You have to make the intentional decision to get alone with God. He won’t shout above the noise of your day... He’ll simply wait until you can hear Him. He doesn’t signal us in shouts or yells or pointed fingers or accusations. God whispers. He nudges. He speaks to us in the quiet spaces of our heart... not with judgment but in love. We just have to quiet our spirit enough to hear Him.
Retreat to where the sound isn’t... open up the Word... and listen for the gentlest voice you can hear. God has something to tell you.
