Is ther a connection between the amount of noise in our lives and our inability to hear God? Have you spent the same amount of time worrying and talking about your difficult, confusing situations as you have spent in silence, listening to what God might have to say?
Why is talking so much easier than listening? What is it about silence that is so difficult? Why is it easier to surround myself with noise and keep moving, than to stop, be silent, and listen?
How much noise do i voluntarily subject myself to? Does my schedule, my time, my life look like that of a person who wants to hear God’s voice?
Maybe the healing and guidance we desperately need is not going to come from one more meeting or therapy session or sermon or self-help book, but from simply listening for the voice of God.
Is it possible that you have been looking or God in the winds, the earthquakes and fires, and he is waiting to speak to you in the silence?
