Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored
throughout the world.”
That noise is
almost deafening. I mean it is hard to shut
off or to tune out. This is so difficult
that I almost cannot think because of the noise.
Hear me
out. There are many noises that remove
our ability to hear, and the decibels can be off the dial. But it could be the kind of noise that only
animals can hear. It could even be the
volume that only our heart can hear.
The things that
we allow in our lives can keep us from hearing God. There are several reasons for this. Think with me.
It might be
loud noises such as music that kills your eardrums or simply squelches out the
ability to hear anything.
It might be
lousy living that keeps you from hearing.
That type of living pushes out the voice of God, the best from God and
our influence for God.
It could be the
people around us that simply do not care about what God says. These people influence what influences us and
stops the path to walk toward God or even with God.
What is the
noise in your life that needs to be turned down? I suggest that all of us need some quiet time
where all of the noise is turned off and God’s voice is sought.
His people, His
kids will hear His voice and response. I
want to respond which means I have to listen.
So go with me. Turn down the
noise and do it often.
John 10:5-27
NLT
They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him
because they don’t know his voice… My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.
