How many electronic devices do you carry around with you?\u00a0 How many TVs and radios do you have?\u00a0 How many hours a day do you spend talking on the phone or texting or e-mailing?\u00a0 How often do you watch TV while you\u2019re doing something else?\u00a0 Our lives are full of noise and distraction and busyness.\u00a0 We are a fast paced culture that never sleeps.<\/p>\n
I love watching the old films that guessed about the technological advancements we would have today and how much time they would save us.\u00a0 There were people who were seriously worried that our modern technology would free us up from so much work that we\u2019d wind up with too much extra time on our hands.\u00a0 But it seems like we can put those fears to rest.\u00a0 With every new modern advancement, it\u2019s like we learn to multitask another level.<\/p>\n
Have you ever just stopped?\u00a0 Put down the devices and books and magazines, turned off the electronics, and sat down and listened for the voice of God?\u00a0 The Bible describes the leading of the Holy Spirit as a still, small voice.\u00a0 How much have you missed of God\u2019s voice because your life was too full of busyness and noise?<\/p>\n
Perhaps it\u2019s time to be like Jesus and choose to make some solitude and silence in your life.<\/p>\n
